What Convert XML to TSV can do:

Convert XML to TSV lets you turn structured XML into tab-separated values with just a few clicks. You can target specific tags (like ), pull data from both elements and attributes, and choose whether to flatten nested tags for a flatter table. The live preview makes it easy to see the TSV as you work, and everything runs client-side. Whether you’re transforming data for Excel, loading it into a database, or simplifying an API output, this tool saves time and effort.

Example:

Input XML:

<records>
  <record id="1">
    <name>John</name>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
  </record>
  <record id="2">
    <name>Jane</name>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
  </record>
</records>

TSV Output:

id	name	email
1	John	[email protected]
2	Jane	[email protected]

With Flattening:

record_id	record_name	record_email
1	John	[email protected]
2	Jane	[email protected]

Common Use Cases:

Convert XML to TSV is perfect for preparing structured XML data for spreadsheets, CSV conversions, or loading into database tools. It’s ideal for developers working with feeds, testers verifying XML outputs, or analysts who need flat data for review. With support for attributes and nested structures, it’s flexible enough to handle most XML-to-table use cases.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If your XML is nested, run Flatten an XML first so it translates better to a tabular layout. Then after converting, use View and Edit TSV to fine-tune columns or fix up any alignment issues.
