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.

Which element is used as the row?

The tool automatically detects the most frequently repeating child element in your XML and uses it as the row element. You can override this with the row element selector.

How are nested child elements handled?

Each direct child element of the selected row element becomes a column. Its text content (concatenated from all descendant text nodes) is placed in the cell. Deeper nesting is flattened into one cell per direct child.

Are XML attributes included?

Yes. Attributes of the row element itself are included as columns prefixed with "@" (e.g. @id, @type). Child element attributes are not currently included.

What if elements are missing in some rows?

Missing elements produce an empty cell for that column. The full column list is built from all rows, not just the first one.

Can I convert a file instead of pasting?

Yes. Click "Upload XML File" to load a .xml file directly from your computer.
