How to use the XML to JSON

To use XML to JSON, paste your source content in the input area and select your target format. The conversion happens instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Copy the result when ready.

Why use the XML to JSON

XML to JSON converts your data instantly in your browser. No file size limits, no upload queues, no privacy concerns — your source data stays on your device the entire time.

When to use XML to JSON

You would use XML to JSON when you receive data in one format but your stack expects another — converting a CSV export from a database tool into JSON for a frontend mock, or translating a YAML config from a sample repository into the format your application reads. The browser-based approach means no installation is required on whichever machine you happen to be using.

Key features of XML to JSON

XML to JSON converts data locally with no upload limits, supports multiple input and output formats, and preserves data fidelity — no silent truncation, no encoding errors. The instant feedback lets you iterate quickly without round-tripping through a server.

Common use cases for XML to JSON

Common scenarios: migrating configuration from a legacy YAML-based deployment to a JSON-based infrastructure-as-code tool; converting a batch of CSV records into JSON for a frontend mock server; and translating XML responses from a SOAP API into JSON during a gradual REST migration project.

Quick answers for XML to JSON

How does the XML to JSON converter handle attributes?
Attributes are placed under an `@attributes` key on the parent object. Text content from a mixed node goes under `#text`. This is the convention used by xml2js and many other libraries - it round-trips cleanly back to XML.
Does it handle repeated child elements?
Yes. When the same tag appears multiple times under the same parent, the converter emits an array. A single occurrence stays as an object - the most common convention for XML-to-JSON mapping.
Can I convert JSON back to XML?
Yes. Switch the direction tab and the tool emits well-formed XML, restoring `@attributes` to real attributes and `#text` to inner text. The JSON must have exactly one root key, since XML requires a single root element.
What about XML namespaces and CDATA?
Prefixed element names (like `ns:tag`) are preserved as-is in the JSON keys. CDATA sections collapse to plain text content during parsing. For specialised XML-Schema work you'll want a dedicated tool.
Is the XML uploaded somewhere?
No. The XML to JSON tool uses the browser's built-in DOMParser; no parsing happens on a server. SOAP responses and config files stay private to your browser.
