What Convert XML to TSV can do:

This tool takes basic structured XML with repeated elements and converts them into clean, usable TSV. It reads your XML client-side, pulls out tag names as headers, and transforms every record into a new line of tab-separated values. You can choose to include headers, flatten simple nested content, and export it all easily. It works without any server calls, so it’s fast and private. You can bring in .xml or .txt files too, and the output even updates live.

Example:

Input:

<root>
  <record>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Alice</name>
    <age>30</age>
  </record>
  <record>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Bob</name>
    <age>25</age>
  </record>
</root>

Output:

id	name	age
1	Alice	30
2	Bob	25

Common Use Cases:

Convert XML to TSV is great when you’re dealing with exported XML from systems like CRMs or CMSs and need something clean and readable in Excel, Google Sheets, or a script. It’s also handy for parsing simple datasets from XML APIs into a format that’s easier to process. No installs, no dependencies, no mess.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After using Convert XML to TSV, run Validate TSV to make sure the structure came through cleanly. And if you’re prepping for database import, Convert TSV to SQLite gives you a quick way to load the data.
