Frequently Asked Questions
What XML structures work best?
XML with repeated sibling elements (like API list responses) convert cleanly. Deeply nested or irregular XML may produce many dot-notation columns.
Can I open the .xls file in Google Sheets?
Yes. The downloaded file uses an HTML-based format that Excel, LibreOffice, and Google Sheets can open.
Is my XML sent to a server?
No. All XML parsing and conversion happen in your browser.
