Frequently asked questions

Should I emit columns as elements or attributes?

Elements are the safer default: they can hold any text, repeat, and nest later. Attributes make a much more compact file and suit flat lookup data, but cannot contain newlines and must be unique per record.

Can I control the element names?

Yes — set the root element and the per-row element name. Column headers become the field names, sanitized so they are legal XML names.

Will the output validate against my XSD?

Only if your schema expects this shape. The generator produces a flat root/row/field structure; if your XSD requires namespaces, a specific element order or typed values, treat the output as a starting point.
