Export DBF to XML (2026 Update)

XML is a versatile and widely used data format. There are hundreds of tools, software and online services accepting XML as a primary format of imported data. What to do when you only have DBF? Just export your DBF files to XML.

Why Use DBF Viewer 2000 to Export to XML?

DBF Viewer 2000 combines DBF database management and export functions in one application. You do not need to convert the database through an intermediate format before creating an XML file.

The export tools provide control over the information included in the resulting file. You can select specific fields, change their order, filter records, sort data, and choose the appropriate encoding.

Command-line support is another useful option for users who regularly work with DBF databases. Export commands can be included in automated processes, making it possible to repeat the same conversion without performing every step manually.
