Why convert CSV to XML?

Many enterprise systems and regulatory frameworks require structured XML for data exchange.

  • B2B compliance : supply chains and banks mandate XML formats like UBL, SEPA or cXML
  • EDI transactions : XML-based standards like ebXML and RosettaNet for electronic data interchange
  • ERP integration : SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics import data through XML interfaces
  • Government reporting : tax filings and customs declarations require specific XML schemas

Orchestria converts your flat CSV into schema-compliant XML without manual formatting.

Structuring tabular data as XML

CSV is flat, but XML is hierarchical. Bridging this gap introduces several challenges.

  • Element naming : convert column headers into valid XML tag names
  • Hierarchy : group related columns under parent elements (<address>)
  • Attributes vs. elements : decide which values become attributes or child nodes
  • Data validation : XML schemas (XSD) enforce required fields and data types
  • Namespace declarations : B2B documents require specific namespace prefixes

Manually crafting XML from CSV is tedious, especially with strict schema requirements.

Custom schema generation

Orchestria uses AI-powered mapping to match your target schema.

  • Intelligent tag generation : column headers converted to clean XML element names
  • Automatic grouping : related fields nested into XML structures
  • Attribute mapping : specify which fields become attributes via natural language
  • Schema compliance : output conforms to UBL, SEPA, cXML or your custom XSD
  • Namespace support : required prefixes and URIs added automatically

Describe your target XML format in plain English and Orchestria generates the conversion flow.

Conversion example

BEFORE

order_id,customer,product,quantity,unit_price
ORD-001,Acme Corp,Widget A,50,12.99
ORD-001,Acme Corp,Widget B,25,24.50
ORD-002,Globex Inc,Widget A,100,11.99

AFTER



  
    Acme Corp
    
      
        Widget A
        50
        12.99
      
      
        Widget B
        25
        24.50
      
    
  
  
    Globex Inc
    
      
        Widget A
        100
        11.99

HOW IT WORKS

How it works

01

Provide input and output samples

Paste a sample of your CSV data as input, and provide the expected XML structure as output. This tells Orchestria exactly what hierarchy and schema you need.
02

Describe the transformation

Write a prompt specifying the conversion details: tag names, hierarchy, attributes, namespaces, and any schema requirements like UBL, SEPA, or cXML.
03

Execute and reuse via API

Orchestria generates a workflow that performs the conversion. Run it instantly and reuse it via API for all your future CSV-to-XML transformations.

The Excel equivalent

Traditional method

In Excel, there is no built-in CSV-to-XML converter. You would need to write a VBA macro or use a third-party plugin to generate XML, manually handling tag naming, hierarchy, and schema compliance.

With Orchestria

With Orchestria, paste your CSV and describe the XML structure you need. The AI generates schema-compliant XML in seconds, with proper hierarchy, attributes, and namespaces.
