Frequently Asked Questions

How does the converter decide which elements become rows?
It finds the most common repeating child element at the same depth level and uses those as rows. You can also manually select any element name from a dropdown to override the auto-detection.
What about XML attributes — do they become columns?
Yes. Attributes are extracted as separate columns prefixed with @ by default (e.g., @id). You can remove the prefix or skip attributes entirely in the settings.
Can this handle large XML files?
The converter processes XML in your browser, so performance depends on your device. Files up to 10-20 MB work well on modern hardware. For very large files, consider using a streaming XML parser locally.
