Is my XML data sent to a server?

No. All parsing and conversion happens entirely in your browser using the built-in DOMParser API. Your data never leaves your device.

What happens to nested XML elements?

Nested child elements are flattened using dot notation (e.g. a child becomes the column "price.usd"). Deep nesting beyond two levels uses the full dotted path.

What if my XML has attributes?

Attributes on the row element's children are included as columns prefixed with "@" (e.g. "@id"). Attributes on the row element itself are also captured.

How large an XML file can I convert?

Because conversion is client-side, practical limits depend on your browser and device memory. Files up to ~10 MB typically work fine; very large files may slow down or crash the tab.

My CSV has empty cells — why?

Some row elements may not have every child element present. Missing fields are written as empty cells so all rows have the same column count.

Can I convert multiple row element types at once?

Currently each conversion targets one repeating element type. Run the conversion again and choose a different row element if you need multiple sets.

Summary

XML to CSV Converter transforms structured XML data into comma-separated values entirely in your browser — no uploads, no server calls. Paste raw XML or load a file, choose the element that repeats as a row (e.g. <product> or <record>), and the tool auto-detects all child element names as column headers. The resulting CSV can be previewed in a table and downloaded with one click.

How it works

Paste your XML into the text area or click "Load File" to open a local .xml file.
The tool parses the XML and lists all repeating element names for you to choose as the row element.
Select the row element from the dropdown (e.g. "item", "record", "product").
Column headers are automatically detected from the child elements of the first occurrence.
Preview the resulting table, then click "Download CSV" to save the file.
