Syntax checks are only the first gate
This tool accepts bounded UTF-8 XML 1.0 documents with one root element. It checks markup and namespace structure, refuses DTD and entity declarations, and rejects processing instructions. It does not load an XSD schema or claim that a well-formed document follows your supplier’s business rules.
Malformed XML produces an error instead of a partially repaired success. If the source uses another character encoding, export a UTF-8 copy in the original application. Removing an encoding label without converting the bytes can corrupt text. Keep the original before making any changes.
Keep the original for lexical and mixed-content fidelity
XML parsers apply defined normalization to line endings and attribute whitespace. A table of parsed values is therefore not an exact reproduction of the source bytes. Comments, formatting whitespace and namespace-prefix choices also do not naturally belong in ordinary record columns.
Mixed content combines text and nested elements, as in a note with an emphasized word. The converter extracts direct text and child values, and flags the mixed node. Original ordering remains available in source.xml inside the CSV ZIP and in the JSON rawXml field. Nodes outside your chosen record subtree are retained there too.
Use the limits as practical selection boundaries
The browser workflow is intentionally bounded: 2 MiB of input, 20,000 elements, 32 nesting levels and 500 unique element paths. The mapped output is further limited to 10,000 rows, 32 tables, 256 data columns per table and 250,000 cells. Expanded text and output-size budgets can reject smaller inputs with unusually large schemas.
Choose a narrower record level or split the source in its exporting application when a limit is reached. This release does not stream huge files, validate schemas, infer joins between unrelated records or restore missing source data. Before using an export operationally, compare row counts, representative exact identifiers, child-parent links and known totals in your destination system.
