About the XML to JSON Converter

The XML to JSON Converter transforms XML documents into clean, valid JSON output instantly. Paste any XML — from API responses, config files, RSS feeds, or data exports — and get structured JSON that is ready for use in JavaScript, Python, or any modern application. No installation required, no data sent to servers, fully client-side conversion.

How to use it

  1. Paste or type your XML content into the input field.
  2. Click Convert to transform the XML to JSON.
  3. Review the formatted JSON output.
  4. Copy the result or download it as a .json file.

Formula & methodology

XML elements become JSON object keys. Text content becomes string values. Attributes are typically prefixed with @ or stored under a special key. Repeated sibling elements become JSON arrays. Empty elements become null or empty string. Namespaces are preserved or stripped depending on configuration.

Common use cases

  • Converting SOAP API XML responses to JSON for modern frontends
  • Transforming RSS or Atom feeds to JSON for JavaScript apps
  • Migrating configuration files from XML to JSON format
  • Processing legacy system exports in XML to modern JSON pipelines
  • Debugging: visually comparing XML structure as JSON object tree

Frequently asked questions

Yes — XML attributes are mapped to JSON keys, typically with an @ prefix or under a special key like "_attributes" to distinguish them from child elements. For example, <tag id="5">text</tag> becomes {"tag": {"@id": "5", "#text": "text"}} in common conventions. The exact output format may vary by converter implementation.
XML namespaces (xmlns declarations and namespace-prefixed elements) are preserved in the output as part of the key name (e.g., "ns:element" remains as-is) or flattened depending on the conversion settings. For most practical use cases, namespaces can be stripped if the consuming application does not need them.
