Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe?: Yes. Every conversion runs entirely inside your browser. No data is ever transmitted to a server. The tool works offline once loaded.
What is the maximum file size?: There is no hard limit. Files under 1 MB convert instantly. Files 1–10 MB show a progress indicator. Files over 10 MB prompt a warning and run in a background thread to keep the browser responsive.
Why does my EXCEL fail to parse?: Common causes are trailing commas, single-quoted strings, unquoted keys, or missing closing brackets. The converter auto-repairs many of these and tells you exactly what it changed.
Can I convert multiple files at once?: The tool handles one file at a time. For bulk conversion, consider the csvjson CLI or API.

How it works

Step 1

Column headers become XML element names

Each column header becomes the tag name for that cell's value. Rows are wrapped in a configurable element (default: <item>), all inside a configurable root element (default: <root>).

Example

Product catalog to XML feed

Input

sku  | name              | price
P001 | Wireless Earbuds  | 49.99
P002 | Phone Stand       | 12.99

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
  <item>
    <sku>P001</sku>
    <name>Wireless Earbuds</name>
    <price>49.99</price>
  </item>
</products>

Frequently asked questions

Can I make cell values XML attributes instead of child elements?

Not directly — all values become child elements. For attribute output, convert to JSON first, then use the JSON to XML converter which has more structural options.
