About the XML to JSON Tool
XML remains everywhere in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, and legacy integrations, but modern JavaScript works far more naturally with JSON. Converting bridges that gap and makes the data directly usable in a frontend or a Node service without an XML parsing dependency.
The conversion is not entirely trivial, because XML has concepts JSON does not โ attributes, namespaces, mixed content, and the distinction between a single child and a list of one. This converter maps them using established conventions and runs entirely in your browser.
How to Use XML to JSON
- Paste your XML document into the input area.
- Press Convert to parse and transform it.
- Review how attributes and nested elements have been mapped.
- Copy the JSON output.
When to Use This Tool
- Consuming a legacy SOAP or XML API from JavaScript
- Converting an RSS or Atom feed into JSON for a frontend
- Migrating XML configuration into a JSON-based system
- Inspecting the structure of an unfamiliar XML document more easily
- Preparing XML data for a modern data pipeline
Things Worth Knowing
- XML attributes are typically mapped to keys prefixed with @ to distinguish them from child elements.
- Repeated sibling elements become JSON arrays; a single occurrence may become an object rather than a one-element array.
- XML comments, processing instructions, and DOCTYPE declarations are discarded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes represented in JSON?
Conventionally as keys prefixed with @, so
Why is a single element an object instead of an array?
Because XML gives no indication of whether an element is intended to repeat. With one occurrence the converter cannot tell, so it produces an object. Handle both shapes in your consuming code, or normalise after parsing.
Are XML namespaces preserved?
Namespace prefixes are generally retained in key names, though the mapping is convention-based rather than standardised.
Is my XML data uploaded?
No. Parsing uses the browserโs built-in DOM parser and everything stays on your device.
