What is XML to CSV conversion?

XML to CSV conversion transforms hierarchical XML documents into the flat, row-based CSV format used by spreadsheets and databases. XML is common in enterprise data feeds, SOAP API responses, configuration files, and document standards like DocBook or DITA. CSV is the universal interchange format for tabular data.

The converter parses XML using the browser's native DOMParser, treats each direct child of the root element as a row, and serializes nested elements and attributes into CSV columns. Attributes are preserved with an @ prefix, and deeply nested structures are flattened into dot-notation columns when enabled.

Example: XML to CSV

Input XML:

xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<users>
  <user id="1">
    <name>Alice</name>
    <email>alice@example.com</email>
  </user>
  <user id="2">
    <name>Bob</name>
    <email>bob@example.com</email>
  </user>
</users>

Output CSV:

csv
@id,name,email
1,Alice,alice@example.com
2,Bob,bob@example.com
