Convert CSV to XML in your browser. The first row becomes element names; each following row becomes a row element under a rows root. Quoted fields follow RFC 4180. Nothing you paste is uploaded.
How it works
Conversion runs entirely in your browser. The first non-empty row is treated as headers (XML element names). Each following row becomes a <row> under a <rows> root, with an XML declaration. Fields are parsed per RFC 4180 (commas, quoted values, doubled quotes, newlines inside quotes). A leading UTF-8 BOM is stripped. Header names are sanitized into valid XML names (invalid characters become underscores; empty or non letter/underscore starts use a field_ prefix; blank headers become field_N). Text is XML-escaped. Missing columns become empty elements; extra cells beyond the header count are ignored.
Empty input clears the result—no error. Header-only CSV yields an empty <rows/> document. Unclosed quotes show a clear parse error. Nothing you paste is uploaded.
Examples
- name,age → <rows><row><name>…</name><age>…</age></row>…</rows>
- "Hello, ""world""" → quoted commas and quotes
- Header-only CSV → empty <rows/>

FAQ
Is my CSV uploaded?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. We do not log or store what you paste.
What if a header is not a valid XML name?
Invalid characters become underscores. Headers that are empty or do not start with a letter or underscore are prefixed with field_. Blank headers become field_N using the 1-based column index.
Do I need an account?
