CSV to XML
Convert CSV data to XML format
About the CSV to XML (Browser)
This tool converts CSV to XML in your browser with root and row element names you configure. Each column header becomes a child element, reserved characters are escaped, and nothing is uploaded.
Converting CSV to XML in the browser is the version to reach for when the spreadsheet holds real records. Product feeds, member lists and financial exports are the usual inputs, and the receiving system is usually something older that specifies exact element names.
Each row becomes one row element inside a single root, and each column header becomes a child element holding that cell's value. Both element names are configurable because legacy importers are specific about them.
Reserved characters are escaped as entities, so a value like "Smith & Sons" produces valid markup instead of a parse error. Everything happens in your browser, so no record leaves your machine.

Frequently asked questions
Is my CSV uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so records stay on your machine.
Can I choose the element names?
Yes. Both the root element and the per-row element name are configurable to match the receiving schema.
How do columns map to XML?
Each column header becomes a child element inside the row element, holding that cell's value.
Are ampersands escaped?
Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes become entities so the markup stays valid.
Does it handle quoted fields?
Yes, including fields containing commas or line breaks.
