Convert XML to JSON
Why convert XML to JSON
XML still powers RSS and Atom feeds, SOAP APIs, sitemaps, office documents, and countless legacy systems. Modern code, though, almost always wants JSON. Converting an XML payload to JSON lets you work with it using normal object access instead of a DOM or XPath query.
Paste any well-formed XML and this tool returns an equivalent JSON object, pretty-printed and ready to use in code.
Attributes, text, and repeated tags
XML has two kinds of data that JSON does not: attributes and mixed text. Element attributes are preserved as keys prefixed with @_, and an element's text content is stored under a #text key, so nothing is lost in translation.
When a tag repeats inside its parent — like many <item> elements in a feed — those become a JSON array automatically, which is exactly what you want for iterating over them in code.
Validated before it converts
The input is validated first, so malformed markup — an unclosed tag or a stray angle bracket — returns a clear error pointing at the problem instead of producing a half-built object.
Attribute values that look like numbers are parsed as numbers, so an id="7" becomes the number 7 rather than the string "7".
Processed locally, never uploaded
Conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your XML is never sent to a server, so documents that contain business data or credentials stay on your machine.
With no upload or download round trip the conversion is instant, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does my XML get uploaded anywhere?
No. The XML is parsed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device, so it is safe for documents that contain business data or credentials.
How are attributes and text content handled?
Element attributes are kept as keys prefixed with @_, and an element's text content is stored under a #text key, so no information is lost.
What happens when a tag repeats?
Repeated child tags, such as many <item> elements in a feed, are collected into a JSON array so you can iterate over them directly.
What if the XML is malformed?
The input is validated first, so an unclosed tag or stray character returns a clear error instead of a silently broken object.
