What Convert XML to INI can do:

Convert XML to INI turns structured XML data into readable, flat key-value pairs. You can keep things simple with standard INI sections or opt for full dot notation across all keys. It’s great for configuration migrations, API exports, or viewing XML in plain text form. You can also optionally extract attributes to preserve more data structure.

Example:

Input:

<config>
  <database>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>5432</port>
  </database>
</config>

Output (INI-style):

[database]
host=localhost
port=5432

Output (Key=Value):

config.database.host=localhost
config.database.port=5432

Common Use Cases:

Use Convert XML to INI to transform XML config files into simpler INI format for legacy apps, or flatten XML output for easier parsing in scripts. Great for converting system exports or making XML easier to read and share.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before converting, you might want to simplify the structure using Flatten an XML it makes the INI format easier to map. Or take a detour through Convert XML to JSON if you need a clearer key-value look before finalizing the format.
