Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert CSV to XML?

Paste your CSV data into the input field or upload a .csv file. The tool converts it to well-formatted XML automatically. The first row is used as element names, and each subsequent row becomes an XML record wrapped in your chosen row element tag.

Can I customize the XML element names?

Yes! You can set a custom root element name (default: data) and row element name (default: record). CSV column headers automatically become child element names. You can also switch to "Values as attributes" mode where values are stored as XML attributes instead of child elements.

What CSV delimiters are supported?

The converter supports comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters. It handles quoted fields correctly, including fields with embedded delimiters, newlines, and escaped quotes (double-quote inside quoted fields).

Does the converter handle special characters?

Yes, XML special characters (<, >, &, ", ') are automatically escaped. You can also enable CDATA wrapping for values that contain complex markup or special characters.

Can I upload a CSV file directly?

Yes! Click the "Upload .csv" button to select a CSV file from your computer. The file is processed entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server. You can also drag and paste CSV content directly into the input area.
