About the CSV to XML Converter

This tool converts CSV to XML and back again, with root and row element names you configure. Each column header becomes a child element and reserved characters are escaped as entities, producing markup that an older importer will accept without complaint.

Convert CSV to XML when a system built before JSON needs your spreadsheet data. Product feeds, EDI-adjacent formats, government filings and plenty of legacy enterprise imports specify XML with particular element names — which is why those names are configurable here rather than fixed.

Each CSV row becomes one row element inside a single root element, and each column header becomes a child element containing that cell's value. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes are escaped as entities, so a value containing "Smith & Sons" does not produce broken markup.

Conversion runs both ways from this page, so an XML feed can also be flattened back into a CSV for a spreadsheet. Everything happens in your browser.

How to use the CSV to XML Converter

  1. Add your data. Paste or upload the CSV, or the XML if converting the other way.
  2. Name the root and row elements. Set the element names the receiving system expects.
  3. Convert. Run the conversion, escaping reserved characters as needed.
  4. Copy or download. Copy the output or save it as a file.

Frequently asked questions

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 CSV columns map to XML?

Each column header becomes a child element inside the row element, containing that cell's value.

Are special characters escaped?

Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes become entities so the XML stays well-formed.

Does it convert XML back to CSV?

Yes. Both directions are available from this page.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
