XML to Excel Converter

A valid XML input contains a root element with repeating child elements. Each repeating element represents a row, and its child elements become column headers. For example:

<data>
  <item>
    <os>Windows</os>
    <version>11</version>
    <architecture>x64</architecture>
  </item>
  <item>
    <os>macOS</os>
    <version>Tahoe</version>
    <architecture>ARM64</architecture>
  </item>
</data>

The output is an Excel file (.xlsx) with column headers derived from XML element names. Each repeating element becomes a row. The output of the above XML will be:

Note: You need to click the "Download" button to download the Excel file, as Excel is a binary format that cannot be copied directly.

If your XML has empty elements, these values will be converted to empty cells in the Excel output. For example:

<data>
  <item>
    <browser>Firefox</browser>
    <engine></engine>
    <license />
  </item>
</data>

produces an Excel file as:

The converter collects all unique element names from all items to create column headers. Missing elements in any item will be represented as empty cells. For example:

<data>
  <item>
    <language>Rust</language>
    <paradigm>Systems</paradigm>
  </item>
  <item>
    <language>Python</language>
    <typing>Dynamic</typing>
  </item>
</data>

produces an Excel file as:

The tool flattens nested elements using dot notation for column headers. For example:

<data>
  <server>
    <name>nginx</name>
    <config>
      <port>80</port>
      <ssl>true</ssl>
    </config>
  </server>
</data>

produces columns like name, config.port, and config.ssl.

Note: For best results, use XML with a simple structure where repeating elements contain flat child elements.
