Many older enterprise systems, EDI interfaces and SOAP-based APIs still expect data as XML, not CSV or JSON. Turning a table into XML is therefore often a necessary intermediate step for exchanging data with such systems.

This tool reads your CSV entirely locally in the browser (papaparse) with the first row as the column header. Each data row becomes an <item> element under a shared root element, each column a child element named after the column header. If a header contains spaces or punctuation, it is automatically turned into a valid XML element name (e.g. "First Name" becomes "First_Name").

Nothing is uploaded - the conversion even works offline. For the reverse direction or a JSON intermediate step, the matching sibling tools are ready to use.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or pick your CSV file.
  2. The tool builds an element per row locally.
  3. Download the XML file.

Limitations: Expects a first row as the column header. Column names with spaces or punctuation are automatically sanitized into valid XML element names (e.g. a space becomes an underscore). Each row is stored generically as an <item> element, no custom row names. Very large files need memory.

FAQ

Is my file uploaded?

No. The XML file is built entirely locally in the browser.

How is each row named?

As a generic <item> element under a shared root element.

What happens with column names containing spaces?

They are automatically sanitized into valid XML element names, e.g. "First Name" becomes "First_Name".

Are numbers recognized as numbers?

Yes, numeric values are recognized, but XML itself has no number type, so they are written as text either way.

XML to JSON instead?

Yes, use the "XML to JSON" tool, then optionally continue with "JSON to CSV".
