Text to XML Converter

Effortlessly convert structured plain text, like key-value pairs, into well-formed and beautifully formatted XML. This tool is perfect for developers, data analysts, and anyone who needs to quickly transform data from a simple text format into a structured XML document. With real-time conversion and customizable tagging options, you can create the exact XML you need in seconds.

How It Works

Our converter is designed for an interactive, live experience. The XML output updates automatically as you type and adjust the formatting options.

  1. Enter Your Text: Paste your key-value data into the input panel. Use a consistent delimiter (like a colon `:`) to separate keys from values.
  2. Configure Your XML Structure: Use the options to define your root and item tag names, and choose a naming convention for your element tags.
  3. Get Instant XML: The clean, syntax-highlighted XML appears instantly in the output panel, ready to be copied and used.

Key Features

  • Intelligent Key-Value Parsing:
    • Automatically identifies keys and values based on a customizable delimiter character (e.g., `:`, `=`, or `|`).
    • Recognizes blocks of data separated by blank lines, allowing you to group related items.
  • Customizable XML Structure:
    • Custom Root Tag: Define the name of the main parent element for your XML document.
    • Optional Item Tags: Choose to wrap each block of data in a parent "item" tag for better organization.
    • Tag Case Styles: Automatically format your generated element tags into `camelCase`, `PascalCase`, or `snake_case` for consistency.
  • Beautified & Syntax-Highlighted Output:
    • The generated XML is automatically "pretty-printed" with proper indentation and line breaks.
    • The output features rich syntax highlighting and synchronized line numbers, making it easy to read and verify.
  • Live & Responsive:
    • The XML output is regenerated in real-time as you type or change any option, with a smart debounce delay for a smooth experience.
    • Live statistics for both input and output panels show character and line counts.
  • Convenient Utilities: Includes one-click buttons to Copy the final XML, Clear the editor, or Load sample data to see the tool in action.

How to Use the Tool

  4. Step 4: Review the XML
    The formatted, syntax-highlighted XML will appear in the output panel on the right.
