Random XML Generator

Generate XML test data with the elements you need, wrapped in a root element you name. Element names are derived safely from your column names, and every value is escaped on the way out, so text containing an ampersand or an angle bracket produces a well-formed document rather than a broken one. Useful for testing a parser, an XSLT transform or an integration that expects XML. Everything is generated in your browser; nothing is uploaded and no result is recorded anywhere.

How it works

Choose the columns you need and how many rows, and the data appears below in whichever format you are pasting it into. Values that belong together stay consistent within a row — the email address is built from that row’s own name, so the result reads like a real table rather than unrelated columns side by side.

Everything generated here is fictional and deliberately unreachable: email addresses use the domains reserved for documentation, phone numbers come from the range set aside for drama and never allocated to anyone, and IP addresses come from the documentation block. Nothing here maps to a real person, and it should not be used as though it did.

Generation runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is the generated XML always well-formed?

Yes. Values are escaped so ampersands and angle brackets in the data cannot break the markup, and column names are converted into valid element names — a name starting with a digit gets a prefix, since XML does not allow one.

How is the root element named?

From the name you set, with each record wrapped in the singular form of it — so a root of orders gives each record an order element. That is the shape most XML consumers expect.

Can I generate attributes instead of child elements?

Not currently — every field becomes a child element. If you need attributes, the JSON to XML converter gives you control over how a structure maps into markup.

Does it include an XML declaration?

Yes, with UTF-8 encoding, which is what most parsers expect and what avoids encoding surprises with non-ASCII characters in the data.

Can I validate the result?

The XML validator checks well-formedness and reports the position of any problem, and the XML formatter will re-indent a document you have edited by hand.
