XML Converters
Pull data out of XML and into the format you actually want — JSON, CSV, YAML, Excel, TSV, Java, HTML or plain text. Free and fully client-side.
XML to JSON
Turn verbose XML into compact JSON for modern apps and APIs.
XML to CSV
Extract repeating XML records into spreadsheet rows.
XML to Excel
Download a real .xlsx workbook built from your XML data.
XML to YAML
Convert XML config into cleaner, indentation-based YAML.
XML to XSL
Scaffold an XSLT stylesheet to transform your XML further.
XML to TSV
Tab-separated output for databases and bulk imports.
XML to Text
Strip the markup down to readable key/value text.
XML to Java
Generate a starting Java class scaffold from XML structure.
XML to HTML
Render XML data as an HTML fragment for the browser.
Free your data from the angle brackets
XML is everywhere in config files, SOAP services, RSS feeds and document formats — but it's verbose and awkward to work with directly. These converters parse well-formed XML and re-express it in whatever your stack prefers, from JSON for a frontend to CSV for a spreadsheet.
Each tool checks that your XML is well-formed before converting, so unclosed or mis-nested tags are reported instead of silently corrupting the output. Everything runs locally, which means internal service payloads stay internal.
Good to know about XML conversion
- XML has no native data types, so values typically come out as strings — cast them in your code afterwards if you need numbers or booleans.
- Attributes and child elements are represented differently depending on the target format; each tool's page documents its mapping.
- Need readable XML first? Run it through the XML Beautifier to indent and validate it.
- Going the other direction? JSON to XML reverses the most common conversion.
Frequently asked questions
No. All conversions happen in your browser. Your XML — including internal API payloads and config — is never uploaded or stored.
It means the document is syntactically correct: every tag is closed, tags are properly nested, and there's a single root element. The converters require well-formedness and will flag structural errors.
XML doesn't distinguish data types — everything is text. Converters therefore emit string values by default. Convert them to numbers or booleans in your application after the fact.
Yes. It builds a genuine Excel workbook you can open directly in Excel or Google Sheets, rather than a CSV with an .xlsx name.
Often, yes. For instance, JSON produced by XML to JSON can be turned back into XML with our JSON to XML tool, though attribute/element nuances may differ.
Yes — the parser preserves namespaces and attributes. How they appear in the output depends on the target format, which each tool's documentation explains.
