How to Convert Base64 to XML - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Base64 Encoded XML

Have Base64 encoded XML data? Simply paste your Base64 encoded content into the input area. The tool will decode it and validate the XML structure.

Example: Try This Base64 Encoded XML

Copy and paste this encoded XML example to see how it works:

Watch the transformation! The tool decodes the Base64 data and formats the XML content with proper indentation and syntax highlighting.

Decoded XML Output

Your Base64 data becomes this beautiful, formatted XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customer>
  <name>Mark Wilson</name>
  <email>[email protected]</email>
  <age>35</age>
  <address>
    <city>New York</city>
    <state>NY</state>
    <zip>10001</zip>
  </address>
</customer>
Step 3

Copy or Process Your XML Data

Perfect! Now you can copy the decoded XML to your clipboard, download it as a file, or use it directly in your applications and parsers.

What is Base64 to XML Conversion?

Base64 to XML conversion combines Base64 decoding with XML parsing and formatting. This process is essential when you receive XML documents that have been Base64 encoded for storage or transmission, and you need to convert them back to a readable, structured format.

The tool first decodes the Base64 data, then validates that the result is well-formed XML, and finally formats it with proper indentation and syntax highlighting for easy reading and analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

When would I encounter Base64 encoded XML data?

Base64 encoded XML commonly appears in SOAP web services, database storage, email attachments, configuration files, and when XML documents need to be transmitted through systems that only handle text-safe formats.

Does the tool validate XML structure after decoding?

Yes! After decoding the Base64 data, the tool validates that the result is well-formed XML. If the decoded content isn't valid XML, you'll receive a clear error message indicating the specific XML parsing issue.

Can I process SOAP messages with this tool?

Absolutely! This tool is perfect for decoding Base64 encoded SOAP messages, web service responses, and XML-based API payloads. The decoded XML is properly formatted for easy analysis and debugging.

How are XML namespaces and attributes handled?

The tool preserves all XML namespaces, attributes, and structural elements during the decoding process. The formatted output maintains proper XML syntax with correct namespace declarations and attribute formatting.

Is the decoded XML properly formatted for readability?

Yes! The tool automatically formats the decoded XML with proper indentation, syntax highlighting, and structure. This makes it easy to read, analyze, and use the XML data in your applications or web services.

Is the Base64 to XML converter free and secure?

Yes, completely free with unlimited conversions and no registration required. All processing happens locally in your browser for security, ensuring your sensitive XML data never leaves your device.
