What is CSV to XML Conversion?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text format for tabular data, widely used in spreadsheets and databases. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a structured markup format used for data interchange between systems, APIs, and configuration files.

Converting CSV to XML transforms each row into a nested XML element, with column headers becoming element tags. This is essential for feeding spreadsheet data into XML-based systems, web services, or enterprise applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does CSV to XML conversion work?

Each row in the CSV becomes a child element under the root element. Column headers become the XML tag names for each field. The converter handles special character escaping automatically.

What XML special characters are escaped?

The converter escapes & to &amp;, < to &lt;, > to &gt;, and double quotes to &quot; in element values. This ensures the output is always valid XML.

Can I customize the element names?

Yes. You can set any root element name (default: data) and row element name (default: row). This lets you match existing XML schemas or naming conventions.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data is never sent to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet and using the tool offline.
