Why Use This Tool?

Analyze Data in Spreadsheets

Convert XML product feeds, inventory exports, or log data into CSV so you can sort, filter, and pivot in Excel or Google Sheets.

Automatic Column Detection

Repeating XML elements are detected automatically and their child elements become CSV column headers without manual mapping.

Download as .csv

Download the converted CSV file directly or copy it to the clipboard for pasting into any spreadsheet application.

100% Private

All conversion runs locally in your browser. Your XML data is never uploaded to or stored on any server.

How this XML to CSV Converter works

This data extraction tool flattens hierarchical XML data into a tabular CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. It parses XML nodes and identifies repeating structures to treat as rows, mapping child elements to columns. This is particularly useful for converting data exports, inventory feeds, or logs from XML format into spreadsheets for analysis in Excel or Google Sheets. It supports handling inconsistencies in data structure by normalizing fields.

If your source data is JSON, convert it to XML first with our JSON to XML Converter before extracting to CSV.

Frequently Asked Questions

What XML structure works best for conversion to CSV?

XML with consistent repeating sibling elements converts cleanly to CSV. Each sibling element becomes a row and its child elements become columns. Highly irregular or deeply nested XML may need preprocessing first.

How are XML attributes handled in the CSV output?

XML element attributes are typically included as additional columns in the CSV output, alongside child element values. The column header usually reflects the attribute name with an "@" prefix.

What happens with deeply nested XML structures?

Deep nesting is flattened into dot-notation column names (e.g., "address.city") or collapsed depending on the converter settings. Very complex nesting may require custom transformation.

Can I open the output CSV directly in Excel?

Yes. The output uses standard comma-separated values with UTF-8 encoding, which Excel and Google Sheets open natively. If data contains commas, values are automatically wrapped in double quotes.

Is this XML to CSV converter secure?

Yes. All conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your XML data is never uploaded to or stored on any server.
