Why Use ExploreMyData for XML to Parquet

Flattens Nested XML

Nested elements and attributes are automatically flattened into columns using dot notation. No manual mapping or XSLT required.

Columnar Parquet Compression

Parquet stores data by column rather than by row, enabling high compression ratios. Expect 5-10x smaller files compared to raw XML.

No Upload Required

Your XML file stays on your device. No data is sent to any server. Everything runs locally in your browser using DuckDB WASM.

Transform Before Export

Filter rows, rename columns, change types, aggregate data, or remove duplicates before writing the Parquet file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does XML to Parquet conversion work?

ExploreMyData parses your XML file, flattens nested elements into a tabular structure, and writes the result as a compressed Parquet file. The entire process runs in your browser using DuckDB WASM.

Why convert XML to Parquet?

Parquet files are columnar and compressed, which makes them significantly smaller than XML. They also load faster in analytics tools like DuckDB, Pandas, Spark, and BigQuery. A 50 MB XML file might compress to under 5 MB in Parquet.

Does it handle nested XML?

Yes. ExploreMyData flattens nested XML elements into columns using dot notation. For example, <address><city>London</city></address> becomes a column named address.city.

Can I clean the data before converting to Parquet?

Yes. After loading your XML file, you can filter rows, rename columns, change types, remove duplicates, and apply 32+ transformations before exporting to Parquet.

Ready to convert your XML to Parquet?
