XML to JSON

Paste or upload XML, keep or ignore attributes, turn on preserve order when element order matters, and inspect generated JSON before copying into an API client, test fixture, or migration note.

Convert XML elements, attributes, repeated tags, and text nodes into readable JSON.

Use preserve order or ignore attributes when destination code expects a specific shape.

  • Convert XML to JSON locally.
  • Preserve order when needed.
  • Download pretty JSON output.

Convert XML into JSON

Load XML, choose how attributes and element order should map, then inspect the generated JSON before copying it.

  1. 1

    Paste or upload XML

    Paste XML into the source editor or upload a .xml, .svg, or .xhtml file from an API response, feed, config export, or sample dataset.

  2. 2

    Set attribute handling

    Keep attributes when IDs, currency values, namespaces, or metadata matter. Turn on Ignore Attributes only when the destination JSON should contain element content alone.

  3. 3

    Review generated JSON

    Use Preserve Order when sibling order matters, then compare arrays, text nodes, numbers, booleans, and nested objects before downloading the pretty JSON for use.

XML input and file upload

Paste source markup, upload common XML-based files, or load sample XML so the input and JSON output stay side by side.

Attribute handling toggle

Keep XML attributes as prefixed JSON keys when metadata matters, or ignore attributes when the target shape should only include element content.

Preserve order mode

Preserve Order helps inspect sibling sequence and mixed structures when a normal object view would hide the original XML order.

Live JSON preview

The generated JSON updates in the output panel, making it easier to review nested objects, arrays, parsed values, and copied result formatting.

Parser feedback

Invalid XML or unsupported structure reports a parser message before download, so you can correct the source instead of saving misleading JSON.

Browser-side conversion notes

Conversion happens in the browser, which is useful for quick checks, but real secrets and customer data should be removed unless policy allows them.

XML to JSON privacy and processing

XML to JSON explains how conversion runs, what remains in the open page, and which source values should be removed before browser-side review.

Browser XML to JSON parser

XML to JSON parses source markup in your browser with fast-xml-parser, then serializes the result into readable JSON for review.

Storage None

XML to JSON keeps the source XML, parser state, attribute setting, preserve-order setting, and generated JSON in the open page only; refresh clears the session.

XML to JSON account access

XML to JSON works without sign-in for API debugging, feed conversion, migration notes, config checks, and quick data handoff tasks.

Before You Use XML to JSON

Read these XML mapping notes before converting feeds, API responses, config files, or structured documents into JSON.

Privacy

Conversion runs in your browser, but private IDs, credentials, tokens, endpoint names, and customer values should be removed when possible.

Uploaded XML files are read into the current page only; refresh or Clear removes the visible source and generated JSON.

Input Quality

Well-formed XML is required. A missing closing tag, bad character, or malformed declaration can stop conversion before JSON is created.

Repeated sibling elements usually become arrays, while attributes use the parser prefix unless you choose to ignore them.

Output

XML and JSON do not model data identically, so mixed content, comments, and processing instructions may need manual review after conversion.

Numbers and booleans may parse as typed JSON values, so check destination expectations before using the result in code.

Limits

XML to JSON parses XML markup in the browser; large documents, deeply nested elements, repeated nodes, or preserve-order output can slow JSON preview updates.

Questions about XML to JSON

What does XML to JSON do?

XML to JSON parses well-formed XML and creates formatted JSON from elements, attributes, repeated tags, text nodes, and parsed primitive values.

How are XML attributes shown in JSON?

When attributes are kept, the parser prefixes them with @_ so values like id or currency do not collide with child element names.

Should I use Preserve Order?

Use Preserve Order when sibling sequence, mixed content, or conversion debugging matters. Leave it off when you want a simpler object-shaped JSON result.

Does XML to JSON upload data?

No. The XML source, settings, parser state, preview, copy action, and download are handled in the browser page without required server upload.

Why did conversion fail?

Conversion usually fails because the XML is not well-formed, uses unsupported characters, has an incomplete declaration, or is too large for comfortable browser parsing.

Can I convert SOAP, RSS, or config XML?

Yes, if the source is well-formed XML. Inspect namespaces, attributes, repeated elements, and text nodes before using the generated JSON downstream.
