Convert XML to TSV

Free XML to TSV converter that flattens repeated XML elements into a tab-separated table with a header row and correct quoting. Auto-detect the record element or specify it, choose columns, then download the TSV. Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

About Convert XML to TSV

TSV is the workhorse format for tabular data that contains commas — product descriptions, addresses, notes. Convert XML to TSV flattens repeated XML elements into a tab-separated table: the record element auto-detected, columns gathered from your data, and every cell quoted correctly.

You stay in control: override the auto-detected row element, fix the column order with a custom list, include attributes, and choose header and quoting behaviour. The result opens directly in spreadsheet tools and loads cleanly into pipelines. All conversion happens locally in your browser.

Features

  • Tab-separated output — the safe delimiter for data that contains commas.
  • Automatic row detection: finds the first repeating element level as the record boundary.
  • Explicit row override: type the row element name for unusual structures.
  • Auto-gathered columns: union of child element names (and attributes) across rows.
  • Custom column list: fix order or subset columns explicitly.
  • Attribute support: include attributes as @-prefixed columns.
  • Header row: emitted by default, toggleable.
  • Safe quoting: values with tabs, quotes or newlines are quoted and escaped.
  • Force-quote option: uniform quoting for strict importers.
  • Private by design: nothing leaves your browser.

How to Use

  1. Paste your XML or load it from a file.
  2. Let the tool auto-detect the record element — or type its name to override.
  3. Adjust columns — leave blank to auto-gather, or list them explicitly.
  4. Choose header and quoting to match the target.
  5. Copy or download the TSV, or print it to PDF.

Examples

Example 1 — Spreadsheet work. A product catalog XML becomes a tab-separated table in seconds, safe in the knowledge that comma-heavy descriptions will not break the columns.

Example 2 — Data tooling. Many analysis and ETL tools default to tab-delimited input. Flatten your XML export to TSV with a header row and load it directly.

Example 3 — Reviewing exports. Convert an XML dump to TSV and read it as a table in a spreadsheet for quick auditing of values and attributes.

Benefits

  • Comma-safe delimiter — values with commas never break the layout.
  • No scripts — row and column detection do the flattening.
  • Shape control — override rows, fix columns, pick quoting.
  • Spreadsheet-ready — opens cleanly in any tab-delimited tool.
  • Free and private — local conversion, no uploads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TSV and CSV?
TSV uses a tab character as the field delimiter while CSV uses a comma. TSV is safer for data that frequently contains commas inside values, and it is the default exchange format for many data tools. The quoting rules here follow the same logic as CSV.
How does the tool detect rows?
By default it auto-detects the first level where an element name repeats and treats every element of that name as a row. You can type the row element name explicitly to override detection for unusual structures.
How are columns chosen?
Columns are collected from the child elements (and optionally attributes) of the detected rows, unioned across all rows so no field is missed. A custom comma-separated column list fixes the order or subsets the output.
Are values quoted?
Values containing a tab, a quote or a newline are wrapped in double quotes with internal quotes doubled. An option force-quotes every cell if your tooling expects uniform quoting.
Is my XML uploaded anywhere?
No. Flattening and quoting run entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted, stored or logged.
