How to use the XML → CSV

  1. Paste or upload your XML data

    Paste text directly into the input box, drag and drop a file onto it, or click "Upload file" to browse. Conversion starts instantly on paste — no button click required.

  2. Configure options (optional)

    Open the Options panel to customise delimiter, headers, nested-object flattening, and more. Use the Field Selector to pick exactly which columns appear in the output.

  3. Copy or download your CSV

    Click Copy to grab the result, or Download to save the file. Everything runs locally in your browser — no data ever leaves your device.

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 XML 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

Repeated elements become rows

The converter detects repeating elements at the deepest level and treats each as a row. Nested structure is flattened using dot-notation column names.

Example

Product feed XML to CSV

Input
<products>
  <item id="1"><name>Widget</name><price>9.99</price></item>
  <item id="2"><name>Gadget</name><price>14.99</price></item>
</products>
Output
id,name,price
1,Widget,9.99
2,Gadget,14.99

Frequently asked questions

How are XML attributes handled in the CSV?

Attributes become their own columns. The id attribute on <item id='1'> becomes an `id` column.
