About this tool
Convert XML into CSV in a single step. XML is the markup format behind SOAP, RSS, sitemaps and countless enterprise feeds; CSV is the lowest common denominator for spreadsheets and data exports. The converter is structure-aware rather than a text substitution, so nested data is flattened predictably.
When you would use it
- Opening XML data in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets
- Migrating a dataset from XML to CSV
- Inspecting XML in a shape that is easier to read
Worked example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user id="4815">
<name>Ada Lovelace</name>
<active>true</active>
<score>91.5</score>
<roles>
<role>admin</role>
<role>editor</role>
</roles>
</user>
user.@id,user.name,user.active,user.score,user.roles.role[0],user.roles.role[1] 4815,Ada Lovelace,true,91.5,admin,editor
Things worth knowing
- Structure and values are mapped directly between XML and CSV.
- CSV completely flat — it has no nesting, no types and no agreed standard for quoting, which shapes how the output is written.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is XML to CSV conversion lossless?
Not entirely. CSV is flat, so nested structures are flattened into dot-notation columns. The data survives and can be rebuilt, but the shape is expressed in the column names rather than the structure.
Why convert XML to CSV?
XML is the markup format behind SOAP, RSS, sitemaps and countless enterprise feeds, while CSV is the lowest common denominator for spreadsheets and data exports. Converting is usually about handing data to a tool that only speaks one of them — a spreadsheet, 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.
