TSV to XML Converter

World's simplest tsv tool
Simple and free online TSV to XML converter. Just paste a TSV table and convert its rows and fields into structured XML elements. You can use the first TSV row to name XML tags, generate child elements for every record, add an XML declaration, skip blank and commented rows, and format the result as readable, indented XML or compact single-line markup.

What is a TSV to XML Converter?

learn more about this tool
This online tool converts Tab Separated Values (TSV) tables into Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents. It reads records line by line, treats tab characters as column separators (the separator can be changed in the options), and writes the result inside a root XML element. If the first TSV row contains column names, you can turn on header conversion and use those names as XML tag names. If the table has no header row, you can disable this option and convert every field into numbered row elements instead. The TSV parser can read quoted fields, skip blank records, and ignore comment rows that begin with a prefix such as "#" or "//". For the output XML, you can add the XML declaration, print a readable document with spaces or tabs, or remove extra whitespace and create compact single-line XML. This makes the converter handy for converting spreadsheet exports, report tables, data import files, and other tabular TSV data into XML. To convert XML data back to a TSV table, use our Convert XML to TSV tool. Tsv-abulous!

TSV to XML Converter examples

Convert Workshop TSV to XML
This example converts a two-column TSV table with workshop equipment statuses into an XML document. The first TSV row is used as the source of XML tag names, the XML declaration is added at the top, and the nested tags are indented with two spaces.
item status lathe ready kiln cooling
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <root> <row-0> <item>lathe</item> <status>ready</status> </row-0> <row-1> <item>kiln</item> <status>cooling</status> </row-1> </root>

Ignore TSV rows that begin with this prefix.
Ignore empty records in the input TSV.
Use the first TSV row as XML child element names.
Prepend the XML version and encoding declaration.
Format nested XML tags with space indentation.
Create Compact XML from Headerless Wind TSV
In this example, the input TSV data has no header row and contains three wind fields in each record: direction, wind force on the Beaufort scale, and condition. We convert the TSV to XML without using headers or generating the XML declaration, and output the result as compact single-line XML.
north 1 calm west 7 gale south 10 storm
<root><row-0>north</row-0><row-0>1</row-0><row-0>calm</row-0><row-1>west</row-1><row-1>7</row-1><row-1>gale</row-1><row-2>south</row-2><row-2>10</row-2><row-2>storm</row-2></root>

Create Tab-indented XML from TSV
This example converts a four-column TSV shipping list into XML. We skip a comment row that starts with a double slash, remove the blank line between records, read quoted values in the note column, and format the final XML with tab indentation.
crate aisle weight note // staging note A-17 3 12kg "fragile glass" B-04 8 5kg "keep upright" C-22 1 19kg "steel bolts"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <root> <row-0> <crate>A-17</crate> <aisle>3</aisle> <weight>12kg</weight> <note>fragile glass</note> </row-0> <row-1> <crate>B-04</crate> <aisle>8</aisle> <weight>5kg</weight> <note>keep upright</note> </row-1> <row-2> <crate>C-22</crate> <aisle>1</aisle> <weight>19kg</weight> <note>steel bolts</note> </row-2> </root>
