How XML to Excel Conversion Works

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XML uses tags to define elements and their relationships, creating a hierarchical structure.

When converting XML to Excel, the tool:

1. Parses the XML structure to identify all elements and their values
2. Extracts the data paths (element hierarchies) to create column headers
3. Organizes the data into rows and columns based on the XML structure
4. Generates an Excel file (.xlsx format) with the converted data

Example

Consider the following XML data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<users>
    <user>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>John Doe</name>
        <email>john.doe@example.com</email>
        <age>30</age>
    </user>
    <user>
        <id>2</id>
        <name>Jane Smith</name>
        <email>jane.smith@example.com</email>
        <age>25</age>
    </user>
</users>

This XML will be converted to an Excel file with columns for: user.id, user.name, user.email, and user.age, with each user as a separate row.

Limitations

Please note the following limitations:

• The tool extracts data from XML elements and creates a flat table structure. Complex nested structures may be represented as separate columns based on their paths.
• XML attributes are not currently extracted separately - only element text content is converted.
• Very large XML files may take longer to process depending on your browser's performance.
