What Convert TSV to XML can do:

Convert TSV to XML turns your tab-separated data into structured XML with ease. Each TSV row becomes an XML block with child elements based on the header fields. You can customize the top-level and row-level XML tags, making it flexible for different systems or schemas.

It’s perfect for converting simple data files into XML format for use in APIs, configuration files, or legacy tools. The XML output is formatted and escaped safely for compatibility, and you can tweak tag names without needing to write any code.

Example:

Input:

name	age	city
Alice	30	NY
Bob	25	LA

Settings:

  • Root tag: rows
  • Row tag: person
  • Trim cell whitespace: ON

Output:

<rows>
 <person>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
  <city>NY</city>
 </person>
 <person>
  <name>Bob</name>
  <age>25</age>
  <city>LA</city>
 </person>
</rows>

Common Use Cases:

Use this to generate XML for configuration systems, transform TSV exports into XML documents, or convert datasets for import into systems that require structured markup. It’s ideal for developers, analysts, and data engineers working with flat-file inputs.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After converting with Convert TSV to XML, try Validate TSV beforehand to catch any bad formatting that might mess up the output. And if you’re planning to reuse the XML elsewhere, Convert XML to JSON gives you another flexible format to work with.
