Fun Fact
XML became a W3C recommendation in 1998 and quickly became the backbone of enterprise data exchange. Even today, many financial, governmental, and enterprise-grade systems rely heavily on XML for structured communication.
Historical Context
CSV has been used for decades as a lightweight tabular data format, particularly in spreadsheet software. XML emerged later as a structured markup language designed to encode documents in a human-readable and machine-readable format. The need to convert CSV to XML arose as organizations transitioned from flat-file data storage to hierarchical and interoperable data systems. Today, browser-based converters like this one eliminate the need for desktop software, enabling secure and efficient global workflows.
