Free No signup Client-side Privacy friendly Updated

How to use

  1. 1 Paste your CSV (or TSV / pipe-separated) data.
  2. 2 Set the root element name (default `records`) and record element name (default `record`).
  3. 3 Toggle "First row is header" — when off, column names become `col1`, `col2`…
  4. 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.
