How the conversion works

Paste your MD Table on the left and press Convert. The tool first parses the MD Table (reading the header row, the --- separator and each data row, honoring \| escapes) into an internal table of rows and columns, then writes it out as XML (building a document with one per record). If the input cannot be parsed you get a plain-English error instead of a broken file.

Where this comes in handy

People reach for this converter when reusing tables from READMEs, wikis or notes and XML is needed for legacy systems or feeds. Because everything runs locally in your browser, it is also handy for quick one-off migrations without installing database tools or writing throwaway scripts.

MD Table to XML FAQs

What does the XML structure look like?
A <rows> root element containing one <row> per record, with one child element per column.

Is this converter free to use?
