csv2xml - A csv to xml converter

As the name suggest, csv2xml is a simple csv to xml converter. It reads csv files from standard input, and output a valid xml file on standard output.

csv2xml is great if your client asks you to resend a data file as xml, no need to modify your scripts, or for when you have a large csv file and you would like to be able to view/edit it with your favourite xml utility.

How to use csv2xml

If you have a csv file called test.csv and want to create a file test.xml after installing csv2xml you would type the following: 

  csv2xml < test.csv > test.xml

Installing

Currently there is source code available for anyone using a BSD/Linux based system, it should work in windows but I have not created executables for it. Download the source from sourceforge, and follow the README instructions. If you want binaries for windows or other operating systems let me know and I should be able to arrange it fairly quickly.

Downloading

The latest version is available on sourceforge.
