About this tool
Convert CSV into XML in a single step. CSV is the lowest common denominator for spreadsheets and data exports; XML is the markup format behind SOAP, RSS, sitemaps and countless enterprise feeds. The converter is structure-aware rather than a text substitution, so nesting, types and ordering are preserved.
When you would use it
- Feeding CSV data to a service that only accepts XML
- Migrating a dataset from CSV to XML
- Inspecting CSV in a shape that is easier to read

Things worth knowing

<row>element with one child per column, wrapped in a single root element.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is CSV to XML conversion lossless?
Yes for structure and values. Comments are dropped, since they are not data. Converting back gives you an equivalent document.
Why convert CSV to XML?
CSV is the lowest common denominator for spreadsheets and data exports, while XML is the markup format behind SOAP, RSS, sitemaps and countless enterprise feeds. Converting is usually about handing data to a tool that only speaks one of them — a legacy service or SOAP endpoint, for instance.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Every tool on JSONWorks runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input is never sent to a server, never logged and never stored. The simplest proof is to disconnect from the internet — the tools keep working. The site does load Google Fonts and a Google Analytics page-view tag, so you will see those two requests in your network tab, but neither receives anything you type or paste.
