Frequently Asked Questions

XML is required by legacy systems, SOAP web services, enterprise integration platforms (ESB/ETL), and many B2B data exchange formats. Converting CSV to XML enables modern data sources to integrate with these systems.

Customize the root and row element names to match your SOAP schema requirements. The tool generates well-formed XML with proper escaping that can be wrapped in SOAP envelopes for web service calls.

By default, first-row headers become XML element names. Invalid XML characters (spaces, special chars) are automatically sanitized. You can disable this to use generic 'field' elements with attribute-based naming.

All special XML characters (<, >, &, ', ") are automatically escaped to their entity equivalents (<, >, &, ', "). This ensures valid XML output and prevents injection attacks.

Yes. Enable 'Use attributes' to convert CSV columns into XML attributes on row elements rather than child elements. This creates more compact XML suitable for many enterprise formats.

You can manually add namespace declarations to the root element after generation. For automated namespace support, consider post-processing the XML or using specialized enterprise data tools.

Yes. The converter processes files entirely in your browser memory. Files up to several hundred MB work on modern computers. For massive datasets (millions of rows), consider splitting the CSV first.

UTF-8 encoding is specified in the XML declaration. All Unicode characters in your CSV are preserved in the output. You can disable the declaration if your system requires it.

The tool generates well-formed XML by default. For schema validation against XSD or DTD, use our XML Validator tool or your target system's validation service.

Currently, process one CSV at a time. For batch conversion, load each file separately. The download function makes it easy to save each result before moving to the next file.
