Input Format:
Your XML should have a root element containing repeated child elements. Each child element becomes a row, and their sub-elements become columns.
Example Structure:
<root> <item><name>...</name><value>...</value></item> <item><name>...</name><value>...</value></item> </root>
Privacy: All conversion happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
About XML to CSV Converter

Examples
Basic XML to CSV conversion
Repeated elements become rows, their children become columns:
XML Input:
<employees>
<employee>
<name>Alice</name>
<age>30</age>
<city>New York</city>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Bob</name>
<age>25</age>
<city>Boston</city>
</employee>
</employees>
CSV Output:
"name","age","city"
"Alice","30","New York"
"Bob","25","Boston"Handling missing elements
Records with missing child elements get empty cells:
XML:
<products>
<product>
<name>Widget</name>
<price>10.99</price>
<stock>50</stock>
</product>
<product>
<name>Gadget</name>
<price>25.00</price>
<!-- no stock element -->
</product>
</products>
CSV:
"name","price","stock"
"Widget","10.99","50"
"Gadget","25.00","" ← empty cellFinding the right structure
The converter looks for repeated sibling elements:
Structure detected automatically: <root> ← root element <item>...</item> ← first repeated element = first row <item>...</item> ← second row <item>...</item> ← third row </root> Non-tabular XML (single path) won't convert well. Best for: lists, collections, result sets.
