Convert CSV data to XML format
About CSV to XML
Wraps comma-separated data in XML: a <root> element holds one <row> per record, and each column becomes a child element named after its header. The output starts with a UTF-8 XML declaration and suits systems that import XML rather than CSV, such as legacy integrations or XSLT pipelines. Paste the data or load a .csv file; nothing leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What XML structure is generated?
▾
An XML declaration followed by a <root> element that contains one <row> element per CSV record. Inside each row, every column becomes an element named after its header, so a Name column produces <Name>value</Name>.
What if a column name has spaces or special characters?
▾
Any character other than A–Z, a–z, 0–9, hyphen or underscore is replaced with an underscore, including spaces, dots and accented letters (Año becomes A_o), and an empty header becomes <field>. Names that start with a digit, such as 2024, are left unchanged and produce invalid XML, so rename those headers first.
Are special characters in values escaped?
▾
Yes. The characters &, <, >, double quotes and apostrophes in cell values become &, <, >, " and ', so values like AT&T or <b> can't break the document.
Does it support semicolons, tabs or multi-line cells?
▾
No. Only commas separate fields, and quoted cells can hold commas and doubled quotes but not line breaks. Rows where every cell is empty are skipped, and missing cells at the end of a row produce empty elements.
