TOML vs XML: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | TOML | XML |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Key = value with [table] sections | Angle-bracket tags with opening/closing pairs |
| Verbosity | Concise, minimal syntax overhead | Verbose with repeated tag names |
| Data types | Native strings, integers, floats, booleans, dates | All content is text without schema |
| Arrays | Square brackets or [[array of tables]] | Repeated sibling elements |
| Validation | No built-in schema system | XSD, DTD, RelaxNG for strict validation |
| Namespaces | Not supported | Full namespace support for large systems |
| Comments | # line comments | <!-- block comments --> |
| Ecosystem | Rust, Python, Hugo, modern tools | Java, .NET, SOAP, enterprise systems |
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Integrating with Java and .NET systems
Enterprise Java and .NET applications commonly use XML configuration. Convert TOML settings to XML for compatibility with Spring, Hibernate, or ASP.NET.
Generating SOAP request payloads
SOAP web services require XML-formatted requests. Convert TOML-structured data into XML payloads for SOAP API testing and integration.
Creating Maven or Ant build configs
Convert project settings stored in TOML into XML format suitable for Maven pom.xml or Ant build.xml files.
Data export for XML-based workflows
Convert TOML data files to XML for import into systems that accept XML input, such as content management systems or document processing tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each [table] section becomes an XML parent element. Keys within the table become child elements. For example, [server] with port = 8080 becomes <server><port>8080</port></server>.
TOML arrays become repeated XML elements with the same tag name. Array of tables [[items]] become repeated <items> elements each containing their key-value child elements.
XML treats all content as text by default. TOML integers, floats, booleans, and dates are converted to their string representation in XML element text.
Yes. The output starts with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> followed by a root element containing your converted TOML data.
A <root> element wraps the entire output. Top-level TOML keys become direct children of this root element.
No. TOML comments are not carried into the XML output. You can add XML comments manually after conversion if needed.
Dotted keys like database.host are expanded into nested XML elements: <database><host>value</host></database>.
Yes. Inline tables are expanded into standard XML element nesting, the same as regular TOML tables.
TOML multi-line strings are output as XML text content with the line breaks preserved in the element body.
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your TOML files, which may contain sensitive settings, are never sent to any server.
