What Convert CSV to XML does

Convert CSV to XML is a free online utility that transforms tabular data into structured XML markup. Users upload a CSV file and choose from predefined templates or create custom mappings to assign CSV columns to specific XML elements, producing output suitable for data interchange between systems.
