How XML to JSON Converter works

  1. Paste your XML document or snippet into the input box.
  2. The tool validates the XML and reports any parsing errors.
  3. View the converted JSON output, with attributes and elements mapped to JSON properties.
  4. Copy the JSON output for use in your application or scripts.
  • Convert an XML API response into JSON for use in a JavaScript application.
  • Inspect the structure of an RSS or Atom feed as JSON.
  • Transform a legacy XML config or export into JSON for modern tooling.
  • Debug an XML payload by viewing its JSON-equivalent structure.
  • Prepare XML data for processing with JSON-based tools and libraries.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your XML data is never uploaded.

  • The XML-to-JSON mapping (attributes vs elements, arrays) follows common conventions but isn't a universal standard.
  • Mixed text and element content may require careful interpretation in the JSON output.
  • Very large XML documents may take longer to convert and render.

XML to JSON Converter

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is XML to JSON Converter free to use?

Yes. The tool is free and runs directly in your browser with no account required.

Does this tool upload my data?

No. Your XML is parsed locally in the browser tab and is not sent to a server.

How are XML attributes represented in the JSON output?

Attributes are typically converted into JSON properties (often prefixed, e.g. with '@' or '_') so they're distinguishable from element text content and child elements.

How are repeated XML elements handled?

Sibling elements with the same tag name are converted into a JSON array, since JSON has a native array type that XML lacks.

What happens to XML text content mixed with child elements?

Mixed content (text alongside child elements) is represented using a dedicated text property alongside the nested element properties.

Will it tell me if my XML is invalid?

Yes — if the XML can't be parsed due to syntax errors, the tool reports the issue instead of producing incorrect JSON.

Can I convert XML namespaces?

Namespace prefixes are preserved as part of element and attribute names in the resulting JSON structure.
