XML to JSON
Convert XML data to JSON format.
What is XML to JSON?
The XML to JSON converter transforms XML documents into well-structured JSON objects with a single click. Whether you are working with legacy APIs, configuration files, or data feeds that still rely on XML, this tool lets you instantly produce JSON output that is ready to use in modern JavaScript applications, REST clients, or data pipelines. No installation, no dependencies — just paste and convert.
For developers, the ability to quickly translate between XML and JSON is essential. XML remains common in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, and SVG metadata, while JSON has become the de facto standard for web APIs and frontend data consumption. Having a reliable conversion tool at hand saves time, reduces manual parsing errors, and helps you understand the structure of unfamiliar XML payloads before writing any code.
How to Use
To use the tool, paste your XML content into the input field and the JSON equivalent is generated automatically. The converter parses the full XML tree — including nested elements, attributes, text nodes, and CDATA sections — and maps them to their JSON counterparts. Attributes are typically represented as keys prefixed with @ or merged into the parent object depending on the parsing convention, so always review the output structure before integrating it into production code.
The output is formatted, human-readable JSON, making it easy to inspect the hierarchy at a glance. You can copy the result directly or use it as a reference to build your own parsing logic. For large documents, the tool handles deep nesting gracefully, preserving the original data relationships as faithfully as possible.
A few edge cases to keep in mind: XML allows repeated sibling elements with the same tag name, which are converted to JSON arrays. Mixed content nodes — elements that contain both text and child elements — may require some cleanup. XML namespaces are preserved in key names, so you may see prefixes like ns:tagName appear in your JSON keys. Always validate the output with a JSON formatter or validator after conversion to ensure structural integrity.
