🔄 TOML to XML — Free Online Tool

Convert TOML to XML online, free. TOML is a readable configuration format built around key/value pairs and tables. XML is a verbose, self-describing markup format used in SOAP, RSS and enterprise systems. TOML to XML conversion parses your TOML against the TOML v1.0.0 grammar (https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0), builds an in-memory model of its keys, nested objects and arrays, then re-serializes it as valid XML following the W3C XML 1.0 conventions. Processing runs in your browser in JavaScript with no upload or server round-trip — no size limit beyond your device's memory, so multi-megabyte documents convert in milliseconds and sensitive payloads never leave your machine. Typical uses include SOAP web services, RSS/Atom feeds and legacy enterprise documents.

Worked example

A TOML document and its XML equivalent:

TOML input:

name = "Alice"
age = 30
email = "[email protected]"

Output:

<user>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
  <email>[email protected]</email>
</user>

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert TOML to XML?

Paste your TOML into the editor and press "Convert to XML". The tool parses it against the TOML v1.0.0 grammar, then re-serializes it as XML following W3C XML 1.0 conventions — instantly and entirely in your browser. You can validate or format the TOML first to be sure it is clean.

How is TOML structure represented in XML?

TOML values are typed and it has first-class dates and times, so they carry into XML cleanly. TOML tables become nested XML structures, and arrays-of-tables become lists.

Does converting TOML to XML preserve data types?

Numbers, booleans and null are preserved as native XML types wherever XML supports them, so standard documents convert losslessly and can be read back into the same structure.

What is the difference between TOML and XML?

TOML (Tom's Obvious Minimal Language) (TOML) — TOML is a readable configuration format built around key/value pairs and tables. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) (XML) — XML is a verbose, self-describing markup format used in SOAP, RSS and enterprise systems. This converter maps the structure of your TOML onto XML so you can use it for SOAP web services.

Does the converter validate my TOML first?

Yes. Invalid TOML is flagged with a clear error before anything is converted. Common TOML problems to check are correct key/value pairs, quoted strings, and valid [table] headers. Starting from clean input keeps the generated XML accurate.

Is my TOML data private?

Yes. The entire TOML-to-XML conversion runs locally in your browser in JavaScript — your TOML is never uploaded, logged or stored. That matters when the data is something like Rust Cargo & Python pyproject config, which should not leave your machine.

Where can I use the XML output?

The generated XML is ready for SOAP web services, RSS/Atom feeds and legacy enterprise documents. Copy or download it and drop it straight into your tooling.

🎓 Pro Tips

  • Tip 1: Validate or format your TOML first (the Validate / Format buttons) so the converter works from clean, TOML v1.0.0-conformant input.
  • Tip 2: Keep an eye on type coercion: TOML and XML don't always represent numbers, dates and nulls the same way.
  • Tip 3: Authoritative reference for the input format: TOML v1.0.0 — https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0.
  • Tip 4: For the output, follow the W3C XML 1.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/) conventions in your codebase.

What Is TOML to XML Conversion?

TOML to XML conversion parses a TOML configuration document and emits the equivalent XML. TOML ("Tom's Obvious Minimal Language") is a readable config format built around key/value pairs and tables, while XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a widely supported, self-describing markup format used in SOAP services, legacy systems, and document pipelines. This tool parses TOML to the TOML v1.0.0 spec and wraps the result under a single root element, producing well-formed, indented XML entirely in your browser.

How to Use the TOML to XML Converter

  • Paste your TOML into the input, or load the example.
  • Click Convert to XML to parse and transform it.
  • Copy the XML or use it directly in your code, API, or config.

What the Converter Handles

  • Tables & nested keys: TOML tables and dotted keys become nested XML elements under the root.
  • Typed values: numbers, booleans, and dates are carried through as element text.
  • Arrays: array values are emitted as repeated child elements, the natural XML representation of a list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the XML have a single root element?

XML requires exactly one root element, while TOML documents can have several top-level tables. The converter wraps everything under a single <root> element so the output is always well-formed.

Is TOML to XML conversion lossless?

The data (keys, values, tables, arrays) maps over faithfully. TOML comments are not preserved, since XML represents them differently and they carry no structural data.

Is my TOML uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.
