XML Converter - Convert XML to JSON, YAML, CSV, and TSV Online

Our free XML converter tool allows you to instantly convert XML documents to multiple formats including JSON, YAML, CSV, and TSV. Whether you're working with APIs, data migration, or format transformation, our converter makes it easy to convert XML data to the format you need.

What is XML Conversion?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) conversion is the process of transforming XML data into other structured formats. XML is widely used for data storage and exchange, but many modern applications prefer JSON, YAML, CSV, or TSV formats. Our converter handles the complex transformation automatically, preserving your data structure and content.

Supported Output Formats

🔷 XML to JSON

Convert XML to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), the most popular data format for web APIs and modern applications. JSON is lightweight, easy to parse, and widely supported across programming languages.

📝 XML to YAML

Transform XML into YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language), a human-readable data serialization format. YAML is commonly used for configuration files, data exchange, and documentation.

📊 XML to CSV

Convert XML data to CSV (Comma-Separated Values), the standard format for spreadsheet applications. Perfect for importing XML data into Excel, Google Sheets, or database systems.

📋 XML to TSV

Transform XML to TSV (Tab-Separated Values), similar to CSV but using tabs as delimiters. TSV is useful for data analysis tools and applications that prefer tab-separated formats.

Key Features of Our XML Converter

⚡ Real-time Conversion

Convert XML to multiple formats instantly as you type. No need to click buttons - see the converted results immediately in real-time across all output formats.

🔄 Multiple Format Support

Convert to JSON, YAML, CSV, and TSV all in one tool. Switch between output formats using tabs to see how your XML data looks in each format.

📁 File Upload Support

Upload XML files directly from your computer. Supports files of any size and automatically processes them for conversion to all supported formats.

📋 Copy & Download

Copy converted data to your clipboard or download it in the format you need. Each output format has its own copy and download buttons for easy access.

🎨 Syntax Highlighting

Beautiful syntax highlighting for XML, JSON, and YAML makes it easy to read and understand your data structure across all formats.

✅ Automatic Data Preservation

Our converter intelligently preserves your data structure, handling nested elements, attributes, and arrays correctly in all output formats.

Common Use Cases

API Integration

Many legacy systems use XML, but modern APIs prefer JSON. Convert XML responses to JSON for easier integration with JavaScript, Python, and other modern programming languages.

Data Migration

When migrating data between systems, you often need to convert between formats. Our tool makes it easy to convert XML data to CSV or TSV for database imports.

Configuration Management

Convert XML configuration files to YAML for modern applications that prefer YAML's human-readable syntax. Perfect for DevOps and infrastructure management.

Data Analysis

Convert XML data to CSV or TSV for analysis in spreadsheet applications or data analysis tools like Python pandas, R, or Excel.

Web Development

Modern web applications use JSON for data exchange. Convert XML feeds, API responses, or data files to JSON for use in React, Vue, Angular, or other frontend frameworks.

How XML Conversion Works

XML Structure Parsing

Our converter first parses the XML structure, identifying elements, attributes, and nested hierarchies. It handles complex XML structures including namespaces, CDATA sections, and mixed content.

Data Transformation

The parsed XML is transformed into an intermediate JSON structure, which is then converted to the target format (YAML, CSV, or TSV). This ensures data consistency across all output formats.

Format-Specific Handling

Each output format has specific requirements:

• JSON: Preserves nested structures and arrays
• YAML: Maintains hierarchy with indentation
• CSV/TSV: Flattens nested structures into rows and columns

XML vs Other Formats

XML vs JSON

XML is more verbose but provides better support for metadata, namespaces, and complex document structures. JSON is more compact and easier to parse, making it preferred for APIs and web applications.

XML vs YAML

XML uses tags and attributes, while YAML uses indentation and key-value pairs. YAML is more human-readable but less suitable for complex nested structures with mixed content.

XML vs CSV/TSV

XML supports hierarchical data structures, while CSV/TSV are flat, tabular formats. Converting XML to CSV/TSV requires flattening nested structures, which our tool handles automatically.

Tips for Using Our XML Converter

1. Start with sample data - Click the "Sample" button to see how the converter works with example XML
2. Check all formats - Use the tabs to view your data in JSON, YAML, CSV, and TSV formats
3. Upload large files - For large XML files, use the upload feature instead of copy-pasting
4. Validate XML first - Ensure your XML is well-formed before conversion for best results
5. Use copy feature - Copy the converted result directly to your clipboard for easy pasting
6. Download results - Save converted files in your preferred format directly to your computer
7. Handle nested data - For CSV/TSV conversion, nested XML structures are automatically flattened

Browser Compatibility

Our XML converter works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No plugins or additional software required - everything runs in your browser for maximum security and privacy.

Privacy & Security

Your XML data is processed entirely in your browser. We don't store, log, or transmit your XML content to our servers. Your data remains private and secure throughout the conversion process.
