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 TSV (separating columns with tabs). 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 tab-separated data is needed for spreadsheets or terminals. 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 TSV 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.
Why choose TSV over CSV?
Tabs rarely appear inside cell text, so TSV survives copy-paste through spreadsheets and terminals with fewer quoting surprises.
How are tabs inside cells handled?
Cells containing tabs are wrapped in double quotes, the same rule CSV uses, so the column structure stays intact.
Is this converter free to use?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no usage caps.
