XML to HTML table converter

How to use it

1. Enter xml text and repeating element name (optional).
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 record element is chosen as in the XML to CSV converter: the most repeated element with attributes or children, or the name you type. Attributes become @name columns, children columns by name, deeper fields path columns. The table is written with thead and tbody and escaped cells.

Example

Result: HTML table: <table> <thead> <tr> <th>@id</th> <th>@lang</th> <th>title</th> <th>author</th> <th>price</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>ar</td> <td>مقدمة ابن خلدون</td> <td>ابن خلدون</td> <td>45</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>en</td> <td>Arabian Sands</td> <td>Wilfred Thesiger</td> <td>60</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>; Record element: book; Rows: 2.

Limits and caveats

• Auto detection can miss in complex files, type the repeating element name in that case.
• The preview shows the first 400 rows only, the markup contains every row.
