The Free Online XML Escape/Unescape Tool removes the offending or reserved characters (that could be wrongly interpreted as markup) in the XML string with its corresponding entities. You can also convert the escaped XML string to its original ones.

The free online XML Escape/Unescape tool performs the following two main functions.

• It escapes the reserved characters (that could be wrongly interpreted as markup) in the XML string with its corresponding entities.
