What Is CSV ↔ XML Converter?

CSV ↔ XML Converter transforms tabular CSV data into structured XML and converts XML back to CSV — all in your browser with no server upload. When converting CSV to XML, the first row is used as column headers and each subsequent row becomes an XML record element. When converting XML to CSV, the child element tag names become column headers and their text content becomes cell values.

FAQ

How does CSV to XML conversion work?

The first row of the CSV is treated as column headers. Each subsequent row becomes an XML element (default: <record>) nested inside a root element (default: <records>). Each column value becomes a child element named after the header.

Can I customize the XML element names?

Yes. When converting CSV to XML, you can set the root element name (wraps all rows) and the row element name (wraps each row) using the input fields above the editor.

Does the converter handle quoted CSV fields?

Yes. Fields enclosed in double quotes are parsed correctly, including fields that contain commas, newlines, or escaped double quotes (two consecutive double quotes).

What XML structure does the XML to CSV converter expect?

The converter expects a root element containing repeated child elements of the same type (e.g. <records><record>...</record></records>). The tag names of the grandchildren become CSV column headers.
