How to show XML in browser?

Is there possible way to run XML like as HTML? Suppose, I have following code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<breakfast_menu>
<food>
    <name>Belgian Waffles</name>
    <price>$5.95</price>
    <description>
   Two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup

Now, I want to see it in browser. I don't want to use C# or any other language with it. I only wants to use XML. I had visited the link..

Like : file:///home/name/xml/index.xml

Then I got the message

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. output

That's not what I expected. I wanted to show list of foods rather than code.

Which browser did you use to "display" the XML? If I remember correctly, some of them display a "pretty-print" version by default, even if no schema is specified.

Google Chrome...

I'm using Chrome and, although it shows the same message you've got, it actually shows the XML, see: https://software.codidact.com/uploads/LqhGnpwbtbMQ3wuTCWePjTua - that said, what exactly is your browsing showing and what did you expect to see?

hkotsubo‭ Yes! I got the same output. But, it wasn't what I expected. I had expected this output which doesn't show without CSS

In that case, I suggest you to edit the question and make it more clear what happened. As currently written, it gives the impression that the XML is not displayed at all (at least I had this impression)
