How do I convert XML to TSV?

Paste your XML into the converter on this page and pick TSV as the output. Conversion happens instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded. You can also call the free API: POST /api/v1/convert with { from: "xml", to: "tsv", data }.

Is the XML to TSV converter free?

Yes. The on-page XML-to-TSV converter is free and runs locally in your browser. The developer API is also free during beta, with a per-call paid tier for bulk and large payloads.

Convert XML to TSV

Paste your Extensible Markup Language (XML) and convert it to Tab-Separated Values (TSV) in one click. Runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup.

Input (XML)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <item>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Ada Lovelace</name>
    <role>Engineer</role>
    <active>true</active>
  </item>
  <item>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Alan Turing</name>
    <role>Researcher</role>
    <active>false</active>
  </item>
</root>

Output (TSV)

Convert this via the API (curl)

curl -X POST "https://data.wrapper-agency.com/api/v1/convert" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from":"xml","to":"tsv","data":"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<root>\n  <item>\n    <id>1</id>\n    <name>Ada Lovelace</name>\n    <role>Engineer</role>\n    <active>true</active>\n  </item>\n  <item>\n    <id>2</id>\n    <name>Alan Turing</name>\n    <role>Researcher</role>\n    <active>false</active>\n  </item>\n</root>"}'

Free conversion API — no key during beta. POST { from, to, data }, get back the converted string. All conversion runs server-side; nothing is stored.

XML vs TSV

XML

A verbose, tag-based markup format common in enterprise systems, SOAP, RSS, and legacy feeds.

TSV

Like CSV but tab-delimited — friendlier when your data contains commas.

How to convert XML to TSV

FormatForge parses your XML into an in-memory data structure, then serializes it as TSV. Numbers, booleans, and null values are preserved, and delimited output is quoted per RFC 4180 so embedded commas, tabs, and newlines stay intact.

Example

XML in

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <item>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Ada Lovelace</name>
    <role>Engineer</role>
    <active>true</active>
  </item>
  <item>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Alan Turing</name>
    <role>Researcher</role>
    <active>false</active>
  </item>
</root>

TSV out

?xml	root
"{""@_version"":""1.0"",""@_encoding"":""UTF-8""}"	"{""item"":[{""id"":1,""name"":""Ada Lovelace"",""role"":""Engineer"",""active"":true},{""id"":2,""name"":""Alan Turing"",""role"":""Researcher"",""active"":false}]}"

Convert XML to TSV in code

Send the conversion to the free API and get the result back as a string:

curl -X POST "https://data.wrapper-agency.com/api/v1/convert" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from":"xml","to":"tsv","data":"...your XML as a string..."}'

FAQ

Does converting XML to TSV change my data?: No — the conversion is structural. Your values are preserved; only the serialization format changes.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?: The on-page converter runs locally in your browser. The API processes your payload server-side and stores nothing.
