What does XML to CSV do?

XML to CSV turns XML into CSV with a header row and one line per record — it opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets. Paste your data, press Convert, then copy the result or download it as a file.

It works best on a list of similar records: each record becomes one row and each field becomes a column.

What you can use

Well-formed XML: one root element, every tag closed, attribute values in quotes. The <?xml …?> line is optional.

Example

Input

<users>
  <user><name>Asha</name><city>Pune</city></user>
  <user><name>Ben</name><city>Leeds</city></user>
</users>

Output

name,city
Asha,Pune
Ben,Leeds

Repeated elements become rows; their children become columns.

How to use XML to CSV

  1. Step 1

    Paste your XML into the input box, or use “Load example” to see the expected shape.

  2. Step 2

    Press Convert. If the input isn’t valid, an error message tells you what is wrong and where.

  3. Step 3

    Copy the CSV output or download it as a file.

Good to know

  • Every opening tag needs a matching closing tag, and only one root element is allowed. Characters like & and < inside text must be written as &amp; and &lt;.
  • Tables are flat. Nested objects and lists don’t map neatly to columns, so for the cleanest output keep each record one level deep.
  • Values containing commas, quotes or line breaks are wrapped in double quotes, which is what Excel and Google Sheets expect.
  • Big inputs (several MB) work, but the browser may pause for a moment while it converts.

Your privacy

Everything happens in this browser tab: what you paste is converted by JavaScript on your device and never sent to our server. Closing the tab clears it. Even so, don’t paste live passwords, API keys or customer records into any website.

Frequently asked questions

Is XML to CSV free?

Yes. XML to CSV is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Is the data I paste sent to a server?

No. Conversion runs in JavaScript inside this browser tab and nothing you paste is sent or stored. Even so, avoid pasting live passwords, API keys or private customer data into any website.

Why do I get an error?

Almost always the input isn’t quite valid: a missing comma or quote in JSON, an unclosed tag in XML, or a tab in YAML. The error message shows where parsing stopped — fix that spot, or press “Load example” to compare with input that works.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, tablets and computers — nothing to install.
