CSV to XML Converter
Convert CSV (or TSV / pipe-separated) data to XML. Configurable root and record element names. Header row becomes column tags.
How to use
- 1 Paste your CSV (or TSV / pipe-separated) data.
- 2 Set the root element name (default `records`) and record element name (default `record`).
- 3 Toggle "First row is header" — when off, column names become `col1`, `col2`…
- 4 Copy or download the generated XML.
Why use this tool
- Reuses the RFC 4180 CSV parser — quoted commas, embedded newlines all handled.
- Auto-detects tab / comma / semicolon / pipe delimiters.
- Header names are sanitized to valid XML element names automatically.
- Auto-escapes <, >, &, " for valid XML output.
Frequently asked questions
What if my header has spaces or special characters?
They are replaced with underscores, since XML element names can't contain those. A header starting with a digit is prefixed with `_`.
Need a different XML structure (attributes instead of children)?
Convert CSV to JSON first with <a class="text-brand-600 hover:underline" href="/csv-to-json">CSV to JSON</a>, edit the JSON, then run <a class="text-brand-600 hover:underline" href="/json-to-xml">JSON to XML</a> with the attribute prefix.
Can I pretty-print the result further?
The output is already indented. Use <a class="text-brand-600 hover:underline" href="/xml-formatter">XML Formatter</a> if you need different indentation or minification.
