HTML table to XML converter

How to use it

1. Enter html containing a table, table number on the page, root element name and row element name.
2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

The table is read by the built-in HTML reader (entities decoded, spanned cells repeated). The first row gives the tag names after fixing invalid ones, a blank header becomes column_N and a repeat gets a _2 suffix. Each later row becomes an element, with &, < and > escaped.

Example

Inputs: Table number on the page = 1, Root element name = rows, Row element name = row. Result: XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rows> <row> <المنتج>قهوة عربية</المنتج> <السعر>45</السعر> <الكمية>3</الكمية> </row> <row> <المنتج>تمر سكري</المنتج> <السعر>30</السعر> <الكمية>5</الكمية> </row> </rows>; Tables found: 1; Rows: 2.

<table>
  <tr><th>المنتج</th><th>السعر</th><th>الكمية</th></tr>
  <tr><td>قهوة عربية</td><td>45</td><td>3</td></tr>
  <tr><td>تمر سكري</td><td>30</td><td>5</td></tr>
</table>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>
  <row>
    <المنتج>قهوة عربية</المنتج>
    <السعر>45</السعر>
    <الكمية>3</الكمية>
  </row>
  <row>
    <المنتج>تمر سكري</المنتج>
    <السعر>30</السعر>
    <الكمية>5</الكمية>
  </row>
</rows>

Limits and caveats

• The first row must hold the column headers.
• Values are written as text, numbers and dates are not reformatted.
