How to Convert CSV to XML Online?

Transform your CSV data into a structured XML representation using our online converter. XML is a widely used format for data exchange and storage due to its flexibility and structured nature.

1. Upload or Paste Your CSV Data

Upload your CSV file or paste your CSV data into the provided input area. The converter will automatically detect the delimiter (usually a comma) used in your CSV file.

2. Configure the XML Structure

This is a crucial step. You'll need to define how your CSV data will be mapped into the XML structure. Consider these options:

  • Root Element: Specify the name of the root element that will enclose all other XML elements.
  • Element Names: The converter will likely use the column headers as element names in the XML. You might have options to customize these names.
  • Attributes (Optional): You might be able to specify whether certain columns should be represented as attributes of XML elements instead of child elements.
  • Data Types: The converter will attempt to infer data types but might need options for handling special cases (e.g., dates).

3. Generate and Preview the XML

The converter will generate the XML representation of your CSV data based on your configuration. A preview area will allow you to review the XML before downloading or copying.

4. Download or Copy the XML Data

The generated XML data can be downloaded as an .xml file or copied to your clipboard for pasting into applications or systems that use XML data.

What is CSV?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, with each field separated by commas.

What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It uses tags to define elements and attributes, allowing for a structured representation of data. A simple example:

<data>
  <record>
    <name>John Doe</name>
    <age>30</age>
  </record>
</data>

This converter will transform your tabular CSV data into an XML structure, making it suitable for use in applications or systems that utilize XML for data exchange or storage. The specific XML structure will depend on your chosen settings.
