How it works
How to use the XML to CSV
Paste or open XML
Paste your XML, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.
Adjust the options
Nested objects are flattened into dotted columns such as address.city, and the first array of records in the document is used as the rows.
Copy or download the CSV
The output updates as you type. Invalid input is highlighted with the exact line and column.
About XML and CSV
XML (Extensible Markup Language) represents data as nested elements with attributes. It is still everywhere in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, Office documents and Android resources.
CSV (comma-separated values) is the lingua franca of spreadsheets and data exports: one record per line, fields separated by commas, quoted when needed (RFC 4180).
How the conversion works
Nested objects are flattened into dotted columns such as address.city, and the first array of records in the document is used as the rows. Attributes become keys prefixed with "@" and element text becomes "#text"; repeated elements become arrays. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so even sensitive data never leaves your device.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is XML to CSV conversion lossless?
CSV is flat, so nested structures are flattened into columns. Values themselves are preserved exactly.
Can I convert CSV back to XML?
Yes — press Swap to reverse the direction, or open the CSV to XML converter.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
