CSV to XML Converter

Why Convert?

Here are some common reasons to perform data format conversion:

• Import CSV data into XML databases and big data systems
• Apply XML technologies like XSLT, XPath, and XSD to CSV data
• Represent tabular CSV data in hierarchical XML form
• Integrate CSV with XML-heavy applications and workflows
• Enable schema validation for CSV data through XML validation
• Simplify complex CSV datasets by converting to well-structured XML

Overall, performing this format conversion enables broader integrations and deeper analysis of data.

How the Converter Works

Using our converter tool is simple:

1. Upload or paste your data
2. Click the "Convert" button
3. Download the converted output file

The resulting output will contain:

• A root element encapsulating the data
• Rows represented as elements
• Cells converted to attributes or child elements

We automatically handle the mapping of input format.

Sample Conversion

Given the following input data:

    Name,Email,Phone
    John,john@example.com,555-1234
    Jane,jane@example.com,555-5678

The equivalent XML would be:

    <csv>
     <row>
      <Name>John</Name>
      <Email>john@example.com</Email>
      <Phone>555-1234</Phone>
     </row>
     <row>
      <Name>Jane</Name>
      <Email>jane@example.com</Email>
      <Phone>555-5678</Phone>
     </row>
    </csv>

This allows the tabular data to be processed using XML tools.

Applications of this format Conversion

Some potential applications include:

• Loading data into XML databases for analysis
• Transforming large datasets using XSLT for preparation and ETL
• Generating custom XML schema and validation rules for data
• Simplifying complex files by converting to hierarchical XML
• Parsing and manipulating XML using XPath queries
• Harvesting insights from data using XQuery scripts

Our online CSV to XML converter provides a quick and easy way to convert CSV datasets into XML for deeper integration with XML-based technologies and systems. The transformed XML unlocks more value from tabular CSV data.
