How to Use This Tool

This tool converts CSV data into well-formed XML documents directly in your browser. No data is uploaded or sent to any server.

You can provide CSV input in three ways: paste it directly, upload a file, or fetch it from a URL. The XML output updates in real time as you make changes.

  1. Provide your CSV — Paste CSV text into the input area, drop a CSV file onto the File tab, or enter a URL on the URL tab to fetch remote data.
  2. Configure options — Open the Options panel to adjust CSV parsing settings (delimiter, quote character, headers) and XML output settings (element vs. attribute mode, root element name, indentation, special character handling).
  3. Get your XML — Copy the XML output to your clipboard or save it as an .xml file using the buttons above the output preview.

FAQ

5 questions
Does this CSV to XML converter upload my data?
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your CSV data never leaves your device — no server receives, stores, or processes it.
What happens to CSV headers with spaces or special characters?
Headers are automatically sanitized into valid XML element names. Spaces and special characters are replaced with underscores, and names starting with a digit get an underscore prefix. For example, '1st Name' becomes '_1st_Name'.
Can I switch between element-based and attribute-based XML?
Yes. Use the XML Structure radio buttons in the Options panel. Element-based wraps each value in a child element, while attribute-based places values as attributes on the row element.
What if my CSV has no headers?
Uncheck 'Use headers' in the Options panel. Column elements will be named col1, col2, col3, and so on. Note that attribute-based mode is not available without headers.
What are the special character handling options?
You can choose between XML escaping (converts characters like < and & to entity references), CDATA wrapping (wraps values in CDATA sections), or no escaping (raw output). XML escaping is recommended for most use cases.
