What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "XML") to another (referred to as "ECSV"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, XML file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format XML to format ECSV becomes essential.

So, how can we perform XML to ECSV file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format XML and transforming it into format ECSV. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of XML to ECSV converters.
