CSV to XML Converter
Turn CSV rows into configurable XML elements with optional @-prefixed attributes
About this tool
CSV to XML Converter reads a header row and one or more data rows, then creates a configurable XML root containing one row element per record. Comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters are supported. Normal headers become child elements, @-prefixed headers can become attributes, and a #text header can add direct row text. Invalid XML name characters are replaced conservatively so the output remains serializable, while values are escaped through the browser DOM rather than manual string concatenation. A table preview makes the parsed rows visible before download. The tool does not infer numeric or date types, generate an XSD, merge hierarchical paths, preserve spreadsheet formatting, or guarantee a partner-specific XML contract; validate the result against the receiving system's schema.
Scenario Recipes
Build a partner XML sample from a reviewed CSV
Goal: Expose header-to-element rules before a data exchange
- Prepare a small CSV with representative values and mark required row attributes using @-prefixed headers.
- Set the exact root and row element names, select the delimiter, and convert the sample.
- Inspect escaped values and normalized field names, then validate the downloaded XML against the partner XSD or sandbox.
Result: A reproducible XML sample whose flat mapping rules are clear before integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which CSV delimiters are supported?
You can select comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe before parsing the header and rows.
How do I create XML attributes?
Enable attribute mapping and prefix the CSV header with @, for example @sku or @id.
Are XML special characters escaped?
Yes. Values are assigned through DOM text and attribute APIs, which serialize ampersands, angle brackets, and quotes safely.
What happens to invalid XML field names?
Unsupported characters are replaced with underscores, and names that cannot start an XML element fall back to a safe field name.
Does it infer numbers, dates, or a schema?
No. CSV values remain text and the tool does not generate or validate an XSD.
Is the CSV uploaded?
No. Parsing, XML construction, preview, and download are performed locally.
