Trusted Conversion Tools
XML To INI Converter
The XML To INI Converter transforms XML configuration files into properly sectioned INI files in real time. Top-level XML elements become INI sections, child elements become key = value pairs, and deeper nesting is handled via dotted keys or section grouping. Paste any XML, adjust delimiter and attribute options, then download or copy the INI output — no sign-up, no upload, completely free.
Who Is It For?
Developers
Converting XML-based application configs (Spring, .NET, Maven) to INI format for tools and frameworks that require it.
System Administrators
Reformatting XML configuration exports from servers and services into the simpler INI format for legacy application deployment.
DevOps Engineers
Translating XML pipeline and environment configurations into INI files during CI/CD setup or cross-platform migrations.
Students & Learners
Understanding the structural differences between XML and INI by seeing a live, side-by-side conversion.
How It Works
Paste your XML into the left panel. The converter uses the browser's built-in XML parser to read the document, then maps the structure to INI format: top-level child elements become INI sections, and their child elements become key = value pairs. Deeper nesting is either flattened with dotted key names (parent.child = value) or kept under the nearest section — your choice. XML attributes can be included with a configurable prefix. Copy the result or download it as a .ini file.
Features
- Real-time XML → INI conversion as you type or paste
- Two nesting modes: top-level elements as sections, or full dotted-key flattening
- Optional XML attribute inclusion with configurable prefix (e.g. @id, @type)
- Delimiter choice: = or :
- Comment character choice: ; or #
- Whitespace trimming for clean values
- Inline XML validation with clear error messages
- Download converted file as .ini
- Copy XML input or INI output to clipboard
- Sample XML with database / server / cache sections
- Fully private — parsed entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded
