XML to CSV Converter

This software tool can help create a CSV file from a XML file.

Dynamically converting XML to CSV format is complicated mainly because every XML file can have its own schema, structure and format; and each program/programmers follow a style of table hierarchy of their own. The conversion is necessary as sometimes data exported by an application in XML format may not be readable by the target application, which understands only the CSV format. Similarly apps exporting data in CSV and trying to communicate with applications that are XML only, will face similar trouble. This tool has been designed such that people without much detailed knowledge of XML also can get-by by converting XMLs to CSVs easily.

The interface lets you get a view of the XML structure. A click on the browse button and then load XML file will get you the file you need. You will be able to see as a hierarchical tree view of the document structure. This can be rearranged by drag and drop operations. Clicking on the read records button will get you the records. The settings can be saved as a template and used again and again. You are then able to just select the template, select the XML file and just read the records. The records can be read in a tabular view. When clicked on the export button, the data is exported as a CSV file. As a busy developer working with all kinds of applications this is a valuable tool to add to your tool chest.

Dynamically converting XML to CSV format is much complicated and challenging task. Unlike as other formatted files, every XML file can have its own schema, structure and format; and each program/programmers are following their own style of table hierarchy.
XML and CSV are the most common formats for data transmissions between all sorts of applications and also websites. To transfer data from one application to another, we need to export from source application and import back into target application. If your source produces only XML and if the target system does not support XML, we must need to convert it as CSV. For example: eBay is hardly using CSV file format for their import process. Converting a XML to CSV will need lot of effort, time, and technical skills. To answer these challenges, this tool is designed for the end users to convert any XML file to CSV easily without having technical knowledge in XML.
