About This Tool

The CSV to XML Converter transforms tabular CSV data into well-formed XML. The first row of your CSV is treated as the header and becomes the XML child element names for each field. Each subsequent row becomes a record element wrapped in your chosen root and row tag names.

All conversion runs in your browser — no data is sent to any server. The converter handles quoted fields, embedded commas, and escaped quotes following the RFC 4180 CSV standard.

How to Use

1. Paste your CSV data into the CSV Input area (first row must be headers), or click Sample.
2. Set your preferred Root Element name (wraps all rows) and Row Element name (wraps each record).
3. Click Convert to generate the XML.
4. Click Copy to copy the XML to your clipboard.

Use Cases

Data engineers converting spreadsheet exports to XML for legacy system ingestion, backend developers preparing test fixtures in XML format, QA engineers converting test case CSV files to XML for test runners, and anyone needing to share tabular data with a system that only accepts XML.

FAQ

• What happens to special characters like &, <, >? — They are automatically escaped to XML entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;) so the output is always well-formed XML.
• Can I use spaces in element names? — No. XML element names cannot contain spaces. Spaces in your CSV headers are replaced with underscores automatically.
• Does it support semicolon-delimited CSV? — Not directly. Paste the data as comma-delimited. You can use a text editor to replace semicolons with commas first.
• Is my data sent to a server? — No. All conversion happens in your browser. Your CSV data never leaves your device.
