FAQ

What XML structure converts best to Excel?

A root element containing repeated record elements with simple direct child fields produces the cleanest table.

How are XML attributes represented?

Attributes on each chosen record are written to columns whose headers begin with an @ sign.

Does the converter flatten deeply nested XML?

No. It reads direct child text and does not fully normalize deep or mixed-content XML.

What happens when the XML is malformed?

The browser parser reports an error and no download is created.

Can XML namespaces affect the column names?

Yes. Browser tag names may retain namespace prefixes, so review the generated headers.
