In today’s data-driven applications, XML (Extensible Markup Language) remains a widely used format for storing and exchanging structured information. However, when it comes to data analytics, reporting, or importing into spreadsheet tools, CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is often the preferred format due to its simplicity, compatibility, and ease of processing.
Also, by converting an XML to CSV, developers can streamline data workflows, reduce file complexity, and ensure faster integration with business intelligence tools, relational databases, and spreadsheet applications.

Convert XML to CSV in C#
Here’s how you can convert XML to CSV in your .NET application:
CellsApi api = new CellsApi(clientId,clientSecret);
Create an instance of CellsApi while providing client credentials as input arguments.
api.uploadFile("input.xml", file, "internal");
Upload the input XML file to the cloud storage using uploadFile(…) method.
File response = api.cellsWorkbookGetWorkbook(name, null ,"CSV",
null, null, null, "internal", "myResultant.csv", "internal", null);
Finally, call the method cellsWorkbookGetWorkbook(…) to initiate the XML to CSV conversion.
Transform XML to CSV using cURL
The Aspose.Cells Cloud API also supports XML to CSV conversion through cURL, making it easy to integrate into scripts and automation workflows. It enables you to implement command-line approach to automate XML to JSON conversion without complex coding.
Step 1.. Generate JWT Token:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-be54-33012487e783&client_secret=c71cfe618cc6c0944f8f96bdef9813ac" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
Step 2. Upload XML File:
curl -X PUT "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/storage/file/data.xml" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>" \
-F "file=@data.xml"
Step 3. Transform XML to CSV
Please execute the following command to export an XML to CSV and save the resultant file in cloud storage.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/{mySourceFile}?format=CSV&isAutoFit=false&onlySaveTable=false&outPath={myResultantFile}" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"
If you prefer saving the resultant CSV on local drive, then please try using the following command:
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/{mySourceFile}?format=CSV&isAutoFit=false&onlySaveTable=false" \
-X GET \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
-o "myResultantFile"
Replace:
mySourceFile
with input XML filemyResultantFile
with resultant CSVaccessToken
with Access Token generated above.
