XML is a hierarchical data format commonly used in web services, configuration files, data exports, and legacy APIs. When XML contains repeating elements (like a list of records), it can be converted to a tabular format. This tool automatically detects the structure and produces a clean Markdown table. For JSON data instead, try our JSON to Markdown converter.
The converter extracts data from two types of XML structures: child elements (the text content of nested tags like
XML parsing uses the browser's built-in DOMParser API — a robust, standards-compliant parser that handles all valid XML including namespaces, special characters, and encoding. Your XML is processed locally with no server calls. After converting to Markdown, beautify the output with our Markdown Table Formatter.
An XML to Markdown Table Converter reads XML data with repeating element structures and converts it into a pipe-delimited Markdown table. It works by inspecting the child elements of the XML root, collecting all unique child element names and attribute names as column headers, and generating one table row per child element. This is ideal for converting XML data files, API responses, or configuration files into documentation-ready Markdown tables.
The tool expects XML with a root element containing repeating child elements of the same type (like

Yes. Attributes on child elements are extracted as columns, with the header prefixed by @ to distinguish them from child elements. For example, an attribute id="123" would appear under the @id column header.
The converter collects all unique keys (child element names and attributes) across all elements. If an element doesn't have a particular child, the corresponding cell is left empty. This ensures all rows have the same column structure.
Yes. The XML is parsed using the browser's built-in DOMParser API. No data is sent to any server. Your XML content stays entirely on your device.
