How do I convert an XML file to TSV using this tool?

Upload or paste your XML structure, choose TSV as the target format, and click Convert. The tool parses the XML tree, maps element names and attributes to column headers, and writes tab-separated rows. If your XML has repeated child elements, each one becomes a new row while parent data is repeated in the leading columns. Download the resulting .tsv file for use in Excel or any database tool.

Why would I convert XML to TSV instead of keeping XML?

TSV is a flat, tab-delimited format that is directly compatible with spreadsheets, SQL bulk import, and command-line tools like awk. Converting XML to TSV removes tags and hierarchy, reducing file size and making it easier to analyze large datasets. It's especially useful when you need to load structured product feeds, configuration data, or API responses into a relational database where XML's tree structure isn't supported.

What happens to XML attributes and nested elements during conversion?

Attributes on an XML element become additional columns with the attribute name as the header (e.g., becomes an id column). Nested elements are flattened by concatenating ancestor element names (like category > subcategory) to avoid column collisions. If elements repeat, the converter generates multiple rows instead of overwriting data, ensuring no child nodes are lost. However, mixed content (text alongside child elements) is combined into a single text value.
