Frequently Asked Questions
How is the XML structure generated?
The converter creates a
<root> element, and each CSV row becomes a <row> element with sub-elements based on header names.What happens with invalid XML column names?
Column names are sanitized to comply with XML rules: spaces are replaced with underscores, and special characters are removed.
Can I customize the tag names?
This tool uses CSV header names directly. If you need different names, edit the headers in your CSV before converting.
Does the generated XML include a declaration?
Yes, the XML includes the standard declaration
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> at the beginning.
