What This CSV to XML Tool Offers
Convert CSV to XML with configurable root and row element names. The first row can be used as child element names. Optionally include or omit the XML declaration and set a custom download filename. After conversion you see a summary (row count and structure); preview the XML, then download or copy. All processing is client-side—no upload to any server.
- Custom root and row tags: Set the root element name and the element that wraps each data row. Invalid XML characters in names are replaced with underscores.
- First row as element names: When enabled, the first row values become the child element names for each row; otherwise col_0, col_1, etc. are used.
- Optional XML declaration: Include or omit the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line at the start. Some systems expect it; others do not.
- Custom download filename: Set Download as (e.g. export) to save as export.xml. You can type the name with or without .xml.
- Conversion summary: After converting, you see how many data rows were converted and the root/row structure (e.g. Root: <root>, Row: <row>).
- XML escaping: Special characters in values (e.g. &, <, >) are escaped so the output is valid XML.
- Auto or custom delimiter: Choose Auto to detect the delimiter or pick comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe.
- Encoding for file upload: Select UTF-8, Windows-1252, or ISO-8859-1 when uploading a file.
- Client-side and private: Conversion happens in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Why Convert CSV to XML?
XML is used in many systems for configuration, feeds, and data exchange. Converting CSV to XML lets you feed CSV data into XML-based workflows or APIs. Omitting the declaration or customizing the root/row names helps match the schema expected by your target system.
Powered by browser APIs and client-side processing.
Options at a Glance
- Root tag / Row tag: Top-level element and the wrapper for each data row. Use valid XML names (letters, numbers, underscore, hyphen).
- First row as element names: When on, header values become child tag names; otherwise col_0, col_1, etc.
- Include XML declaration: Adds the standard XML declaration line at the start of the file. Uncheck if your consumer does not want it.
- Download as: Filename for the downloaded file (e.g. data or export.xml).
Frequently Asked Questions
What are root and row tags?
Root tag is the top-level XML element (e.g. root). Row tag is the element that wraps each data row (e.g. row). Child elements are either from the first row (when enabled) or col_0, col_1, etc. Invalid XML characters in tag names are replaced with underscores.
What is the XML declaration?
The XML declaration is the line at the start of the file that specifies version and encoding. Some systems expect it; others do not. You can include or omit it with the checkbox.
Can I choose the download filename?
Yes. Use the Download as field to set the filename (e.g. export for export.xml, or include .xml if you prefer).
What delimiters are supported?
You can use Auto to detect from the first line, or choose comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
