Free Online CSV to XML
Turn spreadsheet rows into XML. Choose the tag names for the whole document and for each row; column names become element names. It gives developers a quick browser-based way to solve a focused csv to xml task before moving the result into a project.
How to use CSV to XML
Paste your data into the box on the left, or open a file, then press Convert. The first row gives the element names. Each following row becomes one element with a child element per column.
Common mistakes
- Column names that start with a digit: XML needs a letter or underscore first, so they get an underscore in front.
- Leaving the row tag empty: a default of "row" is used.
Frequently asked questions
What if a column name has spaces?
XML names cannot contain spaces or most symbols, so they are replaced with an underscore and the tool tells you which columns changed.
Are special characters escaped?
Yes. &, < and > in your data are written as &, < and >.
What happens to empty cells?
They become an empty element such as <city/>.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing you paste or open is sent to a server.
How do I use this csv to xml tool?
Use the interactive controls above; processing stays in your browser and the result is intended as a practical starting point for development work.
