What is CSV to XML Conversion? 🔄

CSV to XML conversion transforms tabular comma-separated values data into Extensible Markup Language format. This process converts structured data from spreadsheets and databases into hierarchical XML format, which is widely used for data exchange, web services, configuration files, and system integration.

The conversion intelligently maps CSV headers to XML element names and handles data validation, creating well-formed XML documents that comply with XML standards and can be easily processed by various applications and systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tool structure CSV data in XML format?

The tool converts each CSV row into an XML element, with column headers becoming child elements or attributes. You can customize the root element name, row element names, and choose between element-based or attribute-based representation for your data fields.

Can I customize the XML element names and structure?
