About this tool

XML remains common in enterprise feeds, SOAP APIs, and legacy configs. This converter transforms XML documents into JSON for modern JavaScript and REST workflows.

Attributes, nested elements, and text nodes map to JSON properties following a predictable structure you can pipe into apps or formatters.

Common use cases

  • Migrating SOAP or XML API responses to JSON clients
  • Converting config or feed files for Node pipelines
  • Debugging enterprise integrations locally
  • Preparing XML samples for documentation

How to use

  1. Paste XML or load a small .xml file into the input.
  2. Run conversion to produce JSON output.
  3. Inspect how attributes and child elements were mapped.
  4. Copy JSON into your app, formatter, or API mock.

Understanding the result

  • Element names become JSON keys; repeated siblings often become arrays.
  • Attributes may appear as @-prefixed keys or a dedicated attributes object depending on rules.
  • Text-only elements map to string values; mixed content can nest objects.
  • Namespaces and large documents may need cleanup for ideal JSON shape.

FAQ

How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Common patterns prefix attributes (e.g. @id) or group them under an attributes key. Check sample output for this tool's convention.

Can I convert JSON back to XML?

This tool is one-way. Use a JSON-to-XML utility if you need reverse conversion.

Does it handle large XML files?

Browser memory limits apply. Very large feeds should be processed server-side or in chunks.

Are namespaces preserved?

Namespace handling varies. Inspect output when working with qualified element names.
