XML to JSON Converter
Convert between XML and JSON formats.
How to Use
Paste XML into the input panel to convert it to JSON, or paste JSON to convert it to XML. The tool maps XML elements to JSON object keys, attributes to special keys (prefixed with @), and text content to a designated field. Array handling for repeated elements is automatic.
Common Use Cases
- Converting SOAP API responses to JSON for use in modern JavaScript applications
- Transforming XML configuration files to JSON for use with Node.js tools
- Migrating data from legacy XML-based systems to JSON-based APIs
- Converting RSS or Atom feed XML to JSON for processing in web apps
Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes represented in JSON?
XML attributes are typically prefixed with @ in the JSON output (e.g., @id, @class). This convention distinguishes attributes from child elements and is widely used in XML-to-JSON conversions.
How are repeated XML elements handled?
When multiple sibling elements share the same tag name, they are automatically grouped into a JSON array. A single element remains an object. This is the standard behavior for XML-to-JSON conversion.
Is the conversion lossless?
XML and JSON have different data models, so some XML features like processing instructions, CDATA sections, and comments may not have direct JSON equivalents. The conversion preserves structure and data but may lose XML-specific metadata.
