XML to CSV Converter

How to use the XML to CSV Converter

1. Drop an .xml file onto the drop area, or click it to browse. Only files ending in .xml are accepted.
2. Check the summary. It shows the root element, the row element the tool picked, the number of rows found, and a tag for every column.
3. Scroll down to the preview to see the first 200 rows as a table.
4. Choose an output format: CSV, JSON, Parquet, TSV, NDJSON or Excel.
5. Click Download. The file is named after your XML file, so orders.xml downloads as orders.csv.

Worked example

An order export where each order has attributes and child elements, and only one order has a note.

Input (orders.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orders>
  <order id="1001" status="shipped">
    <customer>Alice</customer>
    <total>25.5</total>
  </order>
  <order id="1002" status="pending">
    <customer>Bob</customer>
    <total>12</total>
    <note>Gift wrap</note>
  </order>
</orders>

Settings

• Export as: CSV

Output (orders.csv)

@id,@status,customer,total,note
1001,shipped,Alice,25.5,
1002,pending,Bob,12,Gift wrap

Each <order> becomes one row. The id and status attributes become the @id and @status columns. Each child element becomes a column named after its tag. Only the second order has a <note>, so the first row leaves that field empty.

How XML elements map to CSV columns

• Each repeating record element is one row, even when it sits inside wrapper elements. The summary shows which element was used.
• Only the direct children and attributes of each record are read. A deeper element with the same name as a column never fills that column.
• The column list is the union of every attribute and child tag found across all rows. Missing values are left empty.
• Attributes become columns named with an @ prefix. Child elements become columns named after their tag.
• If a record repeats a child tag, such as two <phone> elements, only the first value is kept.
• A record with no child elements, such as <price currency="USD">10</price>, keeps its text in a column named after the record.
• Text written directly inside a record element next to child tags is not included.
