By converting a file to another file extension, you can use other programs to service it. But we should not forget that the XML file, after converting to CSV, may differ slightly from the original, for example in the placement of data. The most vital information should be saved, but if you are interested in the file being identical after converting from XML to CSV, you should use your judgment and select the appropriate application from the list below. This doesn't guarantee that the conversion will be 100% as expected, but it can still help a lot. If, nevertheless, the effect of converting an XML file to CSV did not meet your expectations, you can try to find on the Internet another version of your file in XML format, previously correctly converted by someone else into a CSV file. If this does not work for you, use the information presented in the next section.
Programs for converting XML to CSV:
Other possible XML file conversions
If after converting the XML file you do not get the corresponding result, you can try changing the XML file format to something other than CSV. On our website you will also find information about the following conversion options:
Converting a file with an XML extension to another format
What other possibilities are there?
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your XML files converted by someone else, and trying to convert it into CSV format yourself), there is still a problem with the file, then there are few solutions left. You can try again to find and install an application that can open the XML file in its original format (without converting to CSV file. This decision will be difficult to implement, but will undoubtedly bring the best result.
Converting an XML file to CSV is a process that changes the presentation of the data, not the data itself. Data conversion is a process performed for the needs computer technology. We, as end users, are primarily interested in the contents of the file. Machines perceive data in files completely differently. They are not interested in the content, what is important to them is the appropriate form, or presentation of the data, so that they can decipher its content.
Although the final form of the data is a series of zeros and ones, it must be a series ordered in such a way that it is readable by a particular application or platform. Whenever data needs to be transferred further, it must be converted into a format readable for the next application - we are interested in the target CSV format. The data contained in the XML file can be converted not only for the needs of the next application, but also for the purpose of transferring it to another computer system.
Export and import of data and manual conversion
Data conversion is usually a process, in certain cases mechanized. The effect of one program's work is automatically the input product of the next application (some applications provide an automatic opportunity to record the work done with an XML file in CSV format - EXPORT data) After the export is completed, we can simple method conduct IMPORT this data into another application. If this is not possible, we can try to carry out the XML to CSV conversion process ourselves. In order for the machine language to match, you must use the appropriate converter. You will find a list of programs for the conversion you are interested in at the top of this page. A file converter is a binary code translator that eliminates the difference in the code or carries out its correct translation so that another machine or program understands it. For us, as users, the only noticeable change will be a different file extension - CSV instead of XML. For machines and programs, this is the difference between understanding the contents of a file and not being able to read it.
- Step 1: load XML data. You can copy and paste your XML data to the Source Data box, then click Load button. After you have done so, the Source Data box will turn into a graphical XML viewer and your XML data will be displayed as a node tree.
- Step 2: select the XML data you want to convert. Use the graphical XML viewer to navigate the XML node tree, find the node you want and click the radio button. If the selected node is a simple XML element, only the content of that element will be converted. If the selected the node is a complex XML element, the content of all its child nodes will be converted. If you want to convert the whole XML document, you can select the root node. Click the Convert button, the selected XML data will be converted to a plain text file.
- You can repeat Step 2 many times by selecting different nodes of your XML document.
- Choose the target file format, CSV or plain text, by clicking Options.
- Field Separator: Field separators will make the converted text easy to read or parse. You can specify how to separate the converted data fields. The default separator is a space. You can change it to any string of characters;
- Trim XML Format White Space: Some XML files contain spaces and line breakers for the purpose of formatting so that the document can be displayed in a more readable pattern by a text editor. When converted to text, these formatting white spaces may not be wanted. You can use this option to trim the unwanted white spaces.
- Add Linebreakers to Rows: If you specify to trim formatting white spaces, all the data fields will be converted to one long line. You can use this option to add a line breaker to the end of each row of the XML elements.
Today, XML is the industry standard for quickly and efficiently exchanging data between different solutions. However, there are many tasks in which users must represent XML data in a different form.
