What is XML to JSON Converter?

This tool converts XML (Extensible Markup Language) to JSON format. XML is commonly used for data interchange, configuration files, and web services, while JSON is preferred for modern APIs and JavaScript applications.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste your XML content into the input field
  2. Click "Convert to JSON"
  3. Copy or download the generated JSON

Conversion Rules

  • Elements: Become JSON object keys
  • Attributes: Prefixed with @_ (e.g., @_id)
  • Text content: Stored in #text property
  • Repeated elements: Become arrays

Example

Input XML:

<person id="1">
  <name>John</name>
  <age>30</age>
</person>

Output JSON:

{
  "person": {
    "@_id": 1,
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30
  }
}

Common Use Cases

  • Convert SOAP API responses to JSON for modern apps

Frequently Asked Questions

How does XML to JSON conversion work?

XML elements become JSON objects, attributes become properties prefixed with @, and text content becomes the value. Repeated elements become arrays.

Are XML attributes preserved?

Yes, XML attributes are preserved with an @_ prefix. For example, <item id='1'> becomes {'item': {'@_id': '1'}}.

What about XML namespaces?

Namespaces are preserved in the element names. You may need to process these in your application if namespace handling is required.

Can I convert large XML files?

The tool handles moderately sized XML files in the browser. For very large files, consider using a server-side solution or streaming parser.
