Xwift — XML Viewer & Formatter Firefox

Xwift — XML Viewer & Formatter

View, format & validate XML fast — even big files. Collapsible tree, jumps to errors. Zero data collection, no account.

Features & Capabilities

Open an XML file — or the XML page you're already on — and actually read it.

Xwift turns raw XML into a clean, collapsible, syntax-highlighted tree, with a one-click pretty-print / minify source view. And when the XML is broken, it tells you exactly where and why — line and column — instead of dumping plain text or a blank page.

• Tree view — color-coded elements, attributes, text, CDATA, comments and processing instructions; expand or collapse everything in one click. • Source view — re-indent (2 / 4 / tab) or minify, with line numbers and copy. • Real validation — a tolerant parser that keeps going on broken input and lists every well-formedness problem with its line:column: mismatched and unclosed tags, duplicate attributes, unbound namespace prefixes, stray content, an unescaped &, a literal ]]>, and more. Click an error to jump to it. • Handles big files — parsing runs off the main thread so the tab stays responsive where "load it all into the DOM" viewers stall. • Namespaces done right — xmlns scopes are tracked and unbound prefixes flagged.

Built to respect you: • Zero data collection. Everything runs locally. No network requests with your content, no account, no telemetry. Files you open never leave your browser. • Minimal permissions. No host permissions, no <all_urls>, no tab snooping. It reads a page only the moment you ask it to. • Zero dependencies, open source. The XML engine is hand-written — audit it at https://github.com/jjdoor/xwift

Is Xwift — XML Viewer & Formatter Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Xwift — XML Viewer & Formatter does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
