TSV to XML Converter

From tabs to tags

TSV is a simple format: one row per line, columns separated by tabs. This tool turns that into XML by wrapping each row in an element and each column in a child tag. The first line can supply the tag names so your output matches the structure you need for feeds, configs, or APIs.

Options at a glance

• Headers as element names: First TSV row becomes the XML child tag names (sanitized for valid XML).
• Root and row names: Set the wrapper and per-row element names to fit your schema.
• XML declaration: Add <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> at the top when needed.
• Format XML: Indent output for readability; turn off for compact payloads.

What this tool does not do

Conversion runs in your browser only. Very large pastes (tens of thousands of rows) may slow the page. Special characters in values are escaped for XML; column names that are invalid as XML names are rewritten (e.g. spaces to underscores).
