Flatten structured XML feeds, product catalogs, and database exports into clean, tabular CSV spreadsheets. Automatic node detection, attribute extraction, and zero server uploads.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) has served as the backbone of enterprise information exchange, RSS feeds, SOAP web services, and legacy ERP exports for decades. However, because XML is designed as a hierarchical tree structure with arbitrary nesting, importing it directly into business spreadsheets like Excel or database staging tables is notoriously cumbersome.
Our XML to CSV Converter automates the process of flattening XML structures into clean, 2-dimensional spreadsheet rows and columns. Running entirely in your web browser, it analyzes tag repetition and attribute relationships to build standard CSV files ready for analytical modeling.
The core challenge in translating XML into CSV lies in mapping parent-child relationships into uniform horizontal rows:
<product> or <transaction> tags). Each repeating node becomes one row in your spreadsheet.<title>, <price>, and <author>) become the column headers.<item sku="A12" inStock="true">). Our converter automatically prepends @ to attribute names (e.g. @sku, @inStock) to distinguish them from nested text elements.| XML Component | Example Markup | Resulting CSV Mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Record Node | <employee>...</employee> |
A single row in the CSV table |
| Child Tag | <salary>120000</salary> |
Column Header: salary, Value: 120000 |
| Element Attribute | <employee dept="Engineering"> |
Column Header: @dept, Value: Engineering |
