Convert HTML Table to XML.

Drop an HTML table and get well-formed XML with a configurable root and row element, every value properly escaped. It all runs in your browser — no signup, no upload, no watermark.

To convert HTML Table to XML, drop or paste an HTML table — csvtodashboard parses it into rows and columns in your browser, then emits well-formed XML with a configurable root and row element, every value properly escaped. Each row becomes an element under a root you can name, with the five XML special characters escaped so the document stays well-formed. Nothing is uploaded; the whole conversion runs on your device.

01 · How it works

Three steps, then done.

This converter extracts the first <table> in your HTML (pick another if the page has several) — header cells become field names and each row becomes a record, then writes well-formed XML with a configurable root and row element, every value properly escaped. Both sides are tabular, so it is a clean, lossless mapping — no nesting to flatten and no structure to guess. Types are inferred as the data is read, and the whole conversion runs locally in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

i. drop

Drop or paste

Drag a file, click to choose, or paste data directly into the input pane.

ii. detect

We read the shape

Types are inferred so the output is correctly formatted — not strings everywhere.

iii. use it

Copy, download, or dashboard

Copy the output, download it, or hit 'Build dashboard' to chart what's in the data.

02 · Why ours

Smart XML conversion by default.

Free XML converters often produce sloppy output — every value quoted, types lost, errors swallowed. Ours infers types where it can, fails loudly when it can't, and pairs the conversion with a one-click path to a dashboard.

  • 01

    Correct types

    Numbers, booleans and nulls are preserved wherever XML supports them — not every value dumped as a quoted string.

  • 02

    Local-first

    Your file is parsed and converted in your browser — verify in DevTools → Network. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.

  • 03

    Fails loudly

    Malformed input gives a clear, specific error instead of silently wrong output — so you can trust what comes back.

  • 04

    One click to a dashboard

    Every conversion keeps a tabular copy, so you can send the data straight to our visualization tool to chart it.

Good to know

html table to xml notes.

Format-specific details worth knowing before you convert HTML Table to XML.

  • Valid element names

    XML tags can't start with a digit or contain spaces, so a header like "2024 sales" is sanitized into a valid element name.

  • Special characters escaped

    The five predefined entities (&, <, >, ", ') are escaped, so an ampersand or angle bracket in your data won't break the document.

  • Everything is text

    XML carries no native types: every value is character data, and consumers infer types from a schema rather than from the markup itself.

03 · FAQ

html table to xml questions.

What HTML Table input works?
Paste HTML or drop an .html file. The first <table> is used; if the page has several you can choose which one. The <th>/<td> cells become the columns and rows.
Each row becomes an element under a root you can name, each column a child element, with values XML-escaped. Set the root and row element names above the output.
No hard limit. Parsing and conversion run in your browser, with large inputs handled off the main thread so the tab stays responsive — you are bounded only by your device's memory.
No. The entire html table-to-xml conversion happens locally in your browser — the file never touches a server. Watch DevTools → Network to confirm nothing is sent.
