Waiting for input.

How the conversion works

Paste your XML on the left and press Convert. The tool first parses the XML (treating each child of the root element as a row, keeping attributes as @-prefixed columns) into an internal table of rows and columns, then writes it out as INI (writing one [row_N] section 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 pulling records out of XML feeds, sitemaps or API responses and a classic INI config file is needed. Because everything runs locally in your browser, it is also handy for quick one-off migrations without installing database tools or writing throwaway scripts.

XML to INI FAQs

Does it handle nested XML structures?

One level of nesting is flattened: every child element of the root becomes a row. Deeper structures are serialized as text inside their cell so nothing silently disappears.

Are XML attributes included in the output?

Yes. Attributes are exported as columns prefixed with @, so sku becomes @sku, alongside child elements like name and price.

How are rows mapped to INI sections?

Each row becomes its own [row_N] section with column = value pairs, since INI has no native table concept.

What about values with special characters?

Values containing quotes, semicolons or hashes are double-quoted, following common INI conventions.

Is this converter free to use?

Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no usage caps.
