About this tool
This tool parses CSV properly, so a quoted field containing a comma, such as a surname-first name, stays as one value, and doubled quotes inside a quoted field become a single quote. The first row supplies the element names for each column, cleaned into safe XML names, and every later row becomes one record element. You choose the root and record element names. Text is escaped for XML, and short rows are padded with empty elements.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to a comma inside quotes?
It stays inside the field. Quoted cells are parsed as one value, so Smith, John remains a single name.
What if a header is not a valid XML name?
It is cleaned into a safe name, with spaces and punctuation replaced by underscores and a leading underscore added when needed.
