How do I convert an XML file to XLS?

Open the XML to XLS tool, select your .xml file, choose .xls as the output format, and click 'Convert'. The tool parses the XML tree and maps each element and attribute to columns and rows, then downloads the resulting spreadsheet.

Why should I convert XML to XLS?

XML stores data in a tree structure with tags, while XLS organizes data into a grid of rows and columns. Converting to XLS lets you use Excel's data analysis, charting, and formula features, and makes the data accessible to users without technical XML skills. It also reduces redundancy for large datasets, as the tabular format often produces a smaller file.

How does the conversion preserve XML attributes and nested elements?

During conversion, XML element attributes become column headers, nested child elements are flattened into additional columns, and repeating parent nodes become new rows. If multiple nested levels exist, a separator like '_' is used to create unique column names. Values are converted to appropriate Excel data types (numbers, strings, dates) based on their XML schema, but formatting such as namespaces and CDATA sections is not preserved in the spreadsheet format.
