How to use the XML → HTML Table
1. Paste your XML into the input field. It should have a root element containing repeating child elements (e.g. <products><product>…</product></products>).
2. The tool auto-detects the repeating element and uses child tag names as column headers.
3. Select a theme and configure formatting options, then preview or copy the generated HTML.
4. Download the self-contained .html file to embed or share.
What is it?
XML is widely used in data exports, RSS feeds, SOAP APIs, and enterprise integrations. While XML is well-structured, it is verbose and hard to read — rendering it as an HTML table makes it immediately scannable.
This tool uses the browser's native DOMParser for accurate XML parsing. It then finds the repeating element group (either direct children of the root, or children of the first child) and uses their child tag names as column headers. Each repeating element becomes a table row.
If the XML uses attributes rather than child elements to store data, the tool falls back to using attribute names as column headers. This covers both attribute-centric and element-centric XML conventions.
Example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<products>
<product>
<id>P001</id>
<name>Wireless Keyboard</name>
<price>79.99</price>
</product>
<product>
<id>P002</id>
<name>USB-C Hub</name>
<price>49.99</price>
</product>
</products><table>
<thead>
<tr><th>id</th><th>name</th><th>price</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>P001</td><td>Wireless Keyboard</td><td>79.99</td></tr>
<tr><td>P002</td><td>USB-C Hub</td><td>49.99</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>Child element tag names (id, name, price) become the column headers automatically.
Benefits
Share structured data with anyone, in any format
CSV output opens directly in Excel and Google Sheets; XML works with legacy enterprise systems; JSON feeds every modern API — convert to whatever format your audience needs.
Bridge incompatible data formats without a custom script
Convert between JSON, CSV, XML, and YAML in one click — the most common inter-system data translation handled instantly, without writing a parser or ETL pipeline.
Inspect, compare, and debug complex JSON structures
Sort, extract, compare, and measure JSON to find unexpected keys, spot structural differences between API versions, and diagnose oversized payloads.
Migrate legacy data to modern formats
Convert XML configs, PHP print_r() dumps, or CSV exports to clean JSON — without writing a one-off migration script that will never be used again.
Frequently asked questions
What XML structure does this support?
The tool expects a root element containing repeating child elements (like <items><item>…</item></items>). Each repeating element's child tags become columns. Attribute-only elements are also supported as a fallback.
What if my XML has mixed content or namespaces?
Mixed content (text + elements) and namespaces may produce unexpected results. For best results, use clean data-oriented XML where each row element contains only child data elements.
Can I convert an RSS or Atom feed?
Yes. RSS feeds use repeating <item> elements inside a <channel> root — this structure is fully supported. Column headers will be the RSS field names (title, link, description, pubDate, etc.).
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.
Are there file size limits?
There is no hard limit, but very large datasets (thousands of rows) may slow the browser. For files over a few MB, consider splitting the data or using a command-line tool.
Can I use the generated HTML on my website?
Yes. The output is a complete, self-contained HTML file with inline CSS. You can embed the <table> portion directly in any webpage or paste the full file into a CMS.
