About the CSV to XML converter
Some systems — older ERPs, payment gateways, catalogue importers — still want XML. This converter takes a CSV export and produces one element per row, with a child element per column.
Column names are sanitised into legal XML element names, and cell contents are escaped, so the result always parses.
Naming the elements
The root element wraps the whole document and the row element repeats once per data row. Both are yours to name, which matters when the receiving system expects a specific schema.
Header cells supply the child element names. A header like "Unit Price" becomes `Unit_Price`, since spaces are not allowed in XML names.
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate attributes instead of child elements?
Not directly. Convert to XML here, then adjust with your own transform if the target schema needs attributes.
What happens to empty cells?
They become empty elements, which keeps every row structurally identical.
