XML to CSV

About This Tool

The XML to CSV Converter extracts repeating record elements from an XML document and converts them to a flat CSV spreadsheet. The direct children of the XML root element are treated as rows, and their child element names become the CSV column headers. Missing fields are left empty. Values containing commas or quotes are properly escaped following the RFC 4180 standard.

All conversion runs in your browser using the built-in DOMParser — no XML is sent to any server. Your data stays private. This tool works best with well-structured XML that has a consistent schema across all records.

How to Use

1. Paste your XML into the XML Input area, or click Sample to load an example.
2. Click Convert to generate the CSV.
3. Review the output — each XML child element becomes a column.
4. Click Copy to copy the CSV to your clipboard.

Use Cases

Data analysts receiving XML exports from APIs or databases convert them to CSV for analysis in Excel or Google Sheets. Developers migrating data between systems convert XML configuration data to CSV for import. Content editors receiving product feeds in XML format convert them to CSV for bulk editing. Anyone needing to open XML data in a spreadsheet application can use this tool without writing a script.

FAQ

• What XML structure does this tool expect? — The tool expects a two-level structure: a root element containing repeating child elements (records), each with their own children (fields). For example: <root><record><field>...</field></record></root>.
• What happens if records have different fields? — The tool collects all unique field names across all records. Missing fields for a record are left as empty CSV cells.
• Does it handle XML attributes? — Not currently. Only child element text content is extracted. Attributes are ignored.
• Is my data sent to a server? — No. All processing runs in your browser. Your XML never leaves your device.
