XML to CSV Converter
Parse an XML document and flatten its repeating child elements into CSV rows, with options to include XML attribute values as columns, extract text node content, and flatten nested child elements into dot-notation column names. Choose a custom delimiter — comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe — to match your target application's requirements. Paste XML directly, upload a file, or fetch a remote URL; conversion and validation run entirely in your browser without uploading data to any server.

What is XML to CSV Converter?
XML is designed for hierarchical data exchange; CSV is designed for tabular data analysis. Moving data between the two formats is a common requirement when working with enterprise system exports, RSS feeds, SOAP API responses, and legacy data pipelines. This tool extracts the repeating row elements from an XML document and produces a flat CSV: child element names become column headers, and each row element instance becomes a data row. The repeating element is auto-detected, but you can override the selection if the document has multiple candidate structures. XML attributes are optionally included as additional columns. Namespace prefixes can be preserved or stripped. Nested child elements are flattened to dot-notation column names. The result is a spreadsheet-ready CSV that imports cleanly into Excel, Google Sheets, database tools, and BI platforms.
How to Use
- 1
Paste or Upload Your XML
Paste XML content or upload a .xml file. The tool analyses the structure to find repeating elements (the data rows) and their child elements (the columns) automatically.
- 2
Select the Row Element
Confirm the auto-detected repeating element that represents a data row (e.g., <user>, <record>, <item>). If the XML has multiple repeating element types, choose which one to extract.
- 3
Map Fields to CSV Columns
Review the auto-detected column list. Choose whether to include XML element attributes as columns, select which child elements to include, and set the order and names of the output columns.
- 4
Download or Copy the CSV
Click "Convert to CSV" and download the .csv file for import into Excel, Google Sheets, a database tool, or BI platform.
Common Use Cases
Enterprise XML Export Processing
Convert XML data exports from ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics), SOAP APIs, or legacy platforms into CSV for analysis in Excel, Google Sheets, or BI tools that work natively with tabular data.
Product Catalogue Conversion
E-commerce platforms and product information management (PIM) systems often export catalogues as XML. Convert to CSV for bulk upload to Shopify, WooCommerce, or Amazon Seller Central.
RSS / Atom Feed Data Extraction
Extract structured data from RSS or Atom XML feeds — articles, prices, job listings — into CSV for analysis, monitoring, or import into databases and spreadsheet tools.
Configuration Data Migration
Extract configuration values from XML config files into CSV for review, documentation, or migration to JSON or YAML-based configuration systems used in modern applications.
Conversion Examples
XML Document → CSV Table
XML child elements become column headers; each repeated element becomes a row.
Input JSON
<?xml version="1.0"?> <users> <user><id>1</id><name>Alice</name><role>admin</role></user> <user><id>2</id><name>Bob</name><role>editor</role></user> </users>
Output CSV
id,name,role 1,Alice,admin 2,Bob,editor
XML with Attributes → CSV
XML element attributes are extracted as separate CSV columns.
Input JSON
<products> <item id="1" category="electronics"><name>Laptop</name><price>999</price></item> <item id="2" category="books"><name>JSON Guide</name><price>29</price></item> </products>
Output CSV
id,category,name,price 1,electronics,Laptop,999 2,books,JSON Guide,29
