How do I convert XML to CSV without losing formatting or hierarchy?

When I tried converting an XML file manually, the structure broke — nested fields merged, some values misplaced, and the clean tree format was lost. I needed the data to stay organized in columns exactly as it appeared inside the XML, but Excel couldn’t handle the hierarchy properly.
So I switched to the DRS XML File Converter Tool, and it kept every field, tag, and structure perfectly intact. I just uploaded the XML file, previewed the data inside the tool, selected CSV as the output, and clicked Convert. The final CSV looked structured, readable, and clean — no formatting loss, no broken hierarchy, just well-organized data ready for Excel.

Converting XML to CSV without losing structure can be challenging because XML is hierarchical, while CSV is flat. To handle this correctly it is important to use a reliable tool that preserves data structure during conversion. Softaken XML Converter is a reliable solution for this task. It accurately reads complex XML nodes and attributes then maps them into CSV columns. It maintains data consistency avoids missing values and gives proper alignment of records. Its user-friendly interface makes the process simple for non-technical users. By selecting the right XML elements before conversion you can achieve clean CSV output without losing the original data hierarchy.
