XML to CSV Conversion Options

Nested XML

Nested elements can be flattened into columns such as address.city and address.zip.

XML attributes

Convert XML elements and attributes into CSV columns, including attributes such as @id.

CSV delimiter

Export comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe-delimited CSV depending on where the data goes next.

Can I convert XML to CSV online?

Yes. This XML to CSV converter runs in your browser, so you can convert XML online without creating an account or installing software.
