About the Excel to XML Converter
This XLSX to XML converter turns spreadsheets from XLSX into XML without installing software or uploading anything. It solves a common problem: XLSX needs a spreadsheet app and is awkward to load into databases or code. Converting to XML gives you well-formed XML, ideal for enterprise integrations, RSS and sitemaps, SOAP APIs and regulated data exchange.
Spreadsheets are read and written with SheetJS, the open-source spreadsheet engine used by thousands of data apps, so every sheet, row and value is handled accurately. Because everything happens on your own device, your spreadsheets are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for customer lists, salary sheets, GST data and API exports.
What to expect: every sheet in the workbook is converted; formulas are exported as their calculated values, while text such as PIN codes and phone numbers with leading zeros stays intact; the first row is used as column names, which you can switch off.
How to use the Excel to XML Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your XLSX spreadsheets onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Set the root and row element names and whether the first row holds the column names.
- Press "Convert to XML". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each XML file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in browsers or VS Code to check it; your original XLSX is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- Arrays become repeated elements and keys that are not valid XML names are made safe automatically.
- Merged cells are unmerged and their value is kept in the first cell, which keeps the data easy to filter and import.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the XML to a website or government portal.
