CSV to XML Java

A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file stores data values separated by commas, with each line representing a record. CSV files are often used to move data between systems. Sometimes you need to export CSV data to XML. XML files store and transport data independent of software or hardware. This article explains how to convert a CSV file to XML format using Java.

The following topics shall be covered in this article:

CSV to XML Converter Java API

For converting CSV to XML, we will use the Aspose.Cells for Java API. It provides a feature‑rich, easy‑to‑use way to work with Microsoft Excel worksheets in Java applications. The API supports creating, editing, converting, and rendering Excel formats.

The Workbook class represents an Excel spreadsheet with one or more worksheets. It offers methods to open, save, copy data between workbooks, combine workbooks, and protect sheets. The save() method saves the workbook in the chosen format. The TxtLoadOptions class defines options for loading text or CSV files.

Please either downloads the JAR of the API or add the following pom.xml configuration in a Maven‑based Java application.

Convert CSV to XML in Java

We can convert CSV to XML with two steps:

  1. Load the CSV file using the Workbook class.
  2. Save the XML file with the save() method, providing the output path.

The code example below demonstrates how to convert a CSV file to XML using Java.

Convert CSV to XML with Options in Java

Advanced conversion uses load options:

  1. Create a TxtLoadOptions instance.
  2. Set the desired load options.
  3. Load the CSV with the Document class and the TxtLoadOptions object.
  4. Save the XML using save(), specifying the output path.

The code example below shows how to convert a CSV to XML with advanced options using Java.
