XML to JSON Converter for Fast, Private Conversion
This XML to JSON converter parses XML with attributes, self-closing tags, CDATA, comments, and processing instructions, then creates a JSON representation. Attributes use @-prefixed keys, text content uses #text, repeated child elements become arrays, and empty elements become empty strings. Paste XML, adjust any available options, and copy the result for use in your code or another tool.
The XML to JSON converter turns XML input into a JSON representation you can copy and use in code or other tools. It parses XML that includes attributes, self-closing tags, CDATA, comments, and processing instructions. A worked example is available if you want to see a sample XML document as a starting point.
During conversion, attributes are stored under @-prefixed keys, text content is placed under #text, and repeated child elements are represented as arrays. Empty elements become empty strings. You can adjust any available options before copying the JSON result, though the conversion rules describe the default mappings for the XML structures listed here.
XML represents structured information with elements and attributes, while JSON represents data using objects, arrays, and values. Converting between them is useful when a system or workflow expects JSON rather than XML, or when you want to inspect XML content in a JSON-shaped form. The output makes the stated mappings visible so you can review the result before using it.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser: your input is processed on your device and is not uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. The tool has no server dependency, so after the page has loaded, conversion continues to work offline.
Developers and DevOps engineers can use the converter when moving data between tools, checking a representation before adding it to code, or preparing examples for team communication. It provides a straightforward way to convert XML to JSON and copy the result without sending the input to a server.
Step 1: Paste your XML input or start with the worked example. Include the XML structure you want to convert.
Step 2: Review the XML you entered, including its elements and attributes. The converter parses the input and prepares a JSON result.
Step 3: Adjust any available options before copying the result. The tool provides options you can change as part of the conversion workflow.
Step 4: Copy the JSON output and use it in your code, documentation, ticket, commit message, or another tool.
Use case: Move XML data into a system that only accepts JSON. The converter maps XML elements and attributes into a JSON representation you can copy.
Use case: Check whether a JSON value you were given matches the structure of its XML original. Converting the source makes it easier to compare the two representations.
Use case: Prepare XML snippets for documentation, a ticket, or a commit message. A JSON version can be easier to include when the surrounding context uses JSON.
Use case: Sanity-check a conversion before pasting the result into code. Review how attributes, text, repeated elements, and empty elements appear in the output.
Use case: Convert an XML example into JSON when preparing code or notes for a project that works with JSON data. The copied result gives you a representation to inspect and use.
Use case: Explore how an XML document's repeated child elements map to JSON arrays. This can help you understand the resulting structure before using it elsewhere.
