Does my workbook leave the browser?

Uploaded .xlsx and .xls files are parsed entirely in your browser. The Extract from URL tab is the only path that touches the server, and only to proxy the URL you supply so CORS does not block direct fetches. Nothing is stored.

How are JSON-style cell values turned into XML names?

The first row becomes element names by default. XML names must start with a letter or underscore and only contain letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, and dots — invalid characters are replaced with _ automatically.

Element vs Attribute cell style — which one?

Element style emits John nested under each . Attribute style writes columns as attributes: . Value-attribute combines both: each cell becomes . Pick based on your downstream parser.

What does the CDATA strategy do?

Never always escapes &, as entities. Auto wraps cell text in when it contains characters that would otherwise need escaping. Pick Never for strict XML schemas; Auto for blog-style content with HTML-like fragments.

Why does my number have quotes around it in XML attributes?

XML attribute values are always strings. Coerce types still detects the underlying type and emits the literal characters (42, true), but the XML attribute syntax requires quotes. Element-style output preserves the bare scalar inside the element.

What is the difference between active sheet and all sheets export?

Active sheet exports only the currently selected sheet wrapped in the root element. All sheets exports every sheet under its own wrapper, useful when downstream consumers need the entire workbook in one XML file.

Excel to XML converts .xlsx / .xls workbooks, CSV exports, and pasted table content into clean XML in your browser. Multi-sheet support, configurable element / attribute styles, and full XML declaration controls let the output drop directly into SOAP services, ETL pipelines, government schemas, and CMS importers.

Why this tool exists

Spreadsheets are how most teams collect and share tabular data, but legacy systems — payment gateways, ERP integrations, shipping providers, government filings — still consume XML. Manually writing an importer for every export wastes hours; this tool converts the source straight into well-formed XML with predictable element names and configurable structure.

Workflow at a glance

Bring data in: paste TSV/CSV, fetch a Google Sheets / public xlsx URL, or upload a workbook.
Switch sheets if the workbook has more than one.
Tune the XML Format panel: cell style, element names, indent, CDATA, declaration.
Toggle First row is header, Skip empty rows, and Coerce types as needed.
Copy or download a .xml file ready for the consumer.

What each part of the interface does

Input Excel card hosts three input tabs: Paste content for clipboard rows, Extract from URL for Google Sheets / public xlsx (server-proxied to bypass CORS), and Upload Excel for local .xlsx/.xls/.csv files up to 25 MB.

Output XML card renders the result in a compact line-numbered viewer with Copy and Download .xml actions.

XML Format panel controls sheet selection, cell style, element names, indent, CDATA, declaration, and value coercion.

Workbook Info shows the loaded file name and sheet/row counts.

When to flip each option

Sheet selection — Active for one sheet at a time; All when downstream consumers expect every sheet in one XML file.
Cell style — Element for SOAP/RSS-style trees; Attribute for compact rows; Field name + value when you need a generic <field name=... value=.../> shape.
Root / sheet / row element — match the schema your consumer expects (e.g. Order, OrderLine).
CDATA strategy — Never for strict XML schemas; Auto when cells may contain HTML-like fragments.
Add XML declaration — on for SOAP, RSS, OPML, government filings; off when embedding the fragment inside another document.
Coerce types — on for CSV/paste sources where numbers and booleans arrive as strings; harmless for .xlsx.

Tips that save real time

For SOAP-style payloads, set the row element to a singular noun like order or customer.
For RSS feeds, use root rss, sheet element channel, row element item.
Disable Pretty print for production transmission to save bytes.
Header names with spaces or punctuation are auto-sanitized to safe XML names — rename in the spreadsheet first if you want explicit control.
