Convert CSV to XML

Convert CSV to XML locally in your browser.

Tool workspace

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

Paste CSV—the result updates as you type.

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.
