About CSV to XML Converter

CSV to XML Converter is a free online tool that transforms comma-separated values (CSV) data into well-formed XML markup. This is essential for data interchange between systems, integrating with legacy platforms that require XML, feeding data into web services or APIs that expect XML payloads, and generating configuration files in XML format.

The tool uses PapaParse for reliable, standards-compliant CSV parsing and performs all conversion entirely in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server. You can customize the root and row element names, choose your preferred indentation level, and the converter automatically sanitizes column headers into valid XML tag names while properly escaping special characters in your data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSV to XML Converter? expand_more
CSV to XML Converter is a free online tool that converts CSV (comma-separated values) data into well-formed XML. The first row of your CSV is treated as column headers, which become XML element tag names. Each subsequent row is converted into an XML element containing child elements for each column value.
How does it handle column headers? expand_more
The first row of your CSV is used as XML tag names for each column. Invalid XML characters such as spaces, special symbols, and leading numbers are automatically sanitized — spaces and invalid characters are replaced with underscores, and names starting with a number are prefixed with an underscore to ensure valid XML.
Is my data secure? expand_more
Yes. All CSV parsing and XML generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, so your information remains completely private and secure.
Can I customize the XML structure? expand_more
Yes. You can set custom names for both the root element (default "root") and the row element (default "row") using the input fields in the toolbar. You can also choose your preferred indentation level (2, 4, 6, or 8 spaces).
Does it handle special characters? expand_more
Yes. All XML special characters — ampersands (&), angle brackets (< >), double quotes ("), and single quotes (') — are properly escaped in the output to ensure the generated XML is well-formed and valid.
