What to Know About TXT to XML

• A plain .txt file has no schema, so the tool has to be told how rows are shaped - that is what the structure selector is for.
• Delimited treats the first line as the header and turns every following line into a record element.
• Column names become child element names; characters that are not valid in an XML name are replaced with _.
• Values are XML-escaped (&, <, >, quotes), so the output is well-formed.
• Set the root and record element names, or leave them blank for <rows> / <row>.
• Conversion runs locally with JavaScript - your text is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this TXT to XML converter free?

Yes. The online converter is completely free and needs no account or email.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.

Can I choose the XML element names?

Yes. Set the root element and the record element names; the column names become the child element names. Characters that are not valid in an XML name are replaced with an underscore.

What if my TXT has no delimiter?

Use the Lines mode to get one element per line, or the Extract mode to pull matching fields out of the text with a regular expression.
