CSV to XML Converter
Convert CSV rows into XML elements with column headers as tag names. Useful for Excel exports, legacy systems, and ETL pipelines.
How to use the csv to xml converter
Paste CSV on the left. XML appears live on the right, with the first row as element names and each subsequent row as a <row> element containing those tags.
Formula & explanation
Header row → element names. Each data row becomes <row><col1>…</col1><col2>…</col2></row>, wrapped in a <rows> root.
Examples
name,age\nAlice,30 becomes <rows><row><name>Alice</name><age>30</age></row></rows>
Frequently asked questions
- Can I customize the <row> / <rows> wrapper names?
- Not yet — they're fixed. If you need specific element names (e.g. <book> instead of <row>), do a find-replace on the output.
- What if a CSV header contains spaces or special characters?
- Headers must be valid XML element names (letters, digits, hyphens, underscores). Spaces and most punctuation will produce invalid XML — rename your CSV columns first.
