Frequently asked questions

Can I customize tag names?

Yes, specify custom names for root (<records>) and individual rows (<record>).

How are column headers converted into tags?

Each header becomes an element name, with spaces and punctuation replaced by underscores so the tag stays valid XML.

Are special characters escaped in the output?

Yes. Ampersands and angle brackets are escaped, so the generated XML stays well-formed.

Does it support quoted CSV fields containing commas?

It expects one record per line and splits on commas, trimming surrounding quotes. For CSV with commas inside quoted fields, use the CSV to JSON converter first.

What happens if my CSV only has a header row?

The tool reports an error asking for at least one data row, so you never download an empty XML file.
