How to Use:

Paste your TSV data into the input box on the left. You can also upload a .tsv or .txt file using the Choose File button. Then adjust the conversion behavior using the Options panel:

  • First row is header: Uses the first row of TSV as the tag names for each column. If disabled, the tool will use generic <col1>, <col2>, etc.
  • Trim values: Removes extra spaces from each field before conversion.

As soon as you enter or import data, the XML output updates instantly on the right. Click Copy Output to copy the XML to your clipboard, or Export to File to download it. Use Clear All to reset the tool and start fresh.

What the TSV to XML Converter Tool does:

This tool reads TSV input row by row. When headers are enabled, it uses those as XML tag names. It creates a element for each row and wraps everything in a top-level container. The tool also escapes special characters and supports customizable output through toggles.

Example:

Input TSV:

name	age	city
Alice	28	Paris
Bob	34	Berlin

Output XML:

<records>
  <record>
    <name>Alice</name>
    <age>28</age>
    <city>Paris</city>
  </record>
  <record>
    <name>Bob</name>
    <age>34</age>
    <city>Berlin</city>
  </record>
</records>

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool when converting table-based data to XML for backend systems, file uploads, database importers, or structured APIs. It’s especially helpful when prepping content for legacy XML workflows or transforming spreadsheet exports into readable, hierarchical markup. No coding required just paste, adjust, and export
