XML to CSV conversion transforms hierarchical XML data into a flat tabular format (CSV) that can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or imported into databases. Nested XML elements are flattened into columns and repeated elements become multiple rows.
Nested XML elements are flattened into columns using underscore-separated names. For example, <address><city>Mumbai</city></address> becomes a column named "address_city" in the CSV. This makes deeply nested XML readable as a flat spreadsheet.
Repeated elements (arrays) are expanded into multiple CSV rows — one row per item. For example, if a record has multiple phone numbers, each gets its own row. Duplicate rows are automatically removed from the output.
XML attributes are included as columns in the CSV. For example, <book id="101"> produces an "id" column with value 101. Attributes at nested levels are prefixed with their parent element name using underscores.
