Common Questions
Is my XML data stored?
Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your XML never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.
How are nested XML elements handled?
Nested elements are flattened into CSV rows and columns. Each nested element typically becomes a separate row, with parent element data included in columns.
How are XML attributes converted?
XML attributes become CSV columns. Each attribute becomes a column header, and attribute values become cell values in the corresponding rows.
What if my XML has complex nesting?
Complex nested structures are flattened intelligently. Each repeating element typically becomes a row, with nested data included as additional columns or flattened into the row.
Can I customize the CSV output?
The conversion follows standard CSV format. If you need specific formatting, you can edit the CSV file after conversion in Excel or other spreadsheet tools.
Does it work with large datasets?
Yep. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small to medium XML structures convert instantly. Really huge structures might take a few seconds.
