This tool converts tab-separated values into XML. The first row is treated as column headers, which become XML element names. Each subsequent row becomes a child element under the root. Runs entirely in your browser.
Convert tabular TSV data into XML for systems that still consume it: SOAP services, ETL pipelines, sitemap generators, and many enterprise integrations. The header row supplies element names (sanitised to valid XML names), and each subsequent row becomes a <record> wrapped inside a <records> root — names that are configurable.
All XML metacharacters in cell values (&, <, >, ", ') are escaped to entities so the result is always well-formed and parseable. You can include or omit the <?xml version="1.0"?> declaration, and choose pretty-printed indentation or a single compressed line. The conversion runs locally in JavaScript over your input.
Spaces become underscores and characters that aren’t valid in XML names (digits at the start, slashes, etc.) are replaced. If a column has no header, a fallback name like col_3 is used.
The five XML metacharacters &, <, >, ", and ' are escaped to their numeric or named entities so the output is always well-formed XML, ready for any conformant parser.
Yes. By default the wrapper is <records> and each row is <record>, but both can be set to anything that’s valid in XML names (e.g. <users>/<user>).
No — the conversion is pure DOM-style string assembly inside your browser. Nothing leaves the page.
