XML to JSON Converter
Convert XML to JSON in your browser — elements become keys, attributes are preserved, and repeated tags become arrays. Copy or download.
About the XML to JSON Converter
This XML to JSON converter parses XML with the browser's native parser and turns it into clean JSON. Elements become object keys, text content becomes values, attributes are preserved (prefixed with @), and repeated sibling elements collapse into arrays — so the structure survives the conversion intact.
It's built for pulling XML data — SOAP responses, RSS feeds, configuration files, legacy exports — into JavaScript and modern tooling that prefers JSON, without writing a parser yourself.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your data is never uploaded, and any XML syntax error is reported clearly so you can fix it.
How to Use the XML to JSON Converter
- 1Paste your XML into the input box.
- 2Click Convert to parse and transform it to JSON.
- 3Review the JSON, with attributes and repeated elements handled.
- 4Copy the JSON or download it as a file.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes represented in JSON?
Attributes are kept as properties prefixed with @ (for example @id, @href) on the element's object, so no information is lost. An element's text content is stored under a #text key when the element also has attributes or children, keeping attributes and content distinct.
How are repeated elements handled?
When an element appears multiple times inside the same parent, those siblings become a JSON array. A single occurrence stays an object. This is the natural mapping, though it means the shape depends on the data — one item is an object, two or more become an array.
What happens if my XML is malformed?
The browser's XML parser reports the error, and the tool shows a friendly message pointing at roughly where the problem is — an unclosed tag, a stray character or a mismatched element. Fix the XML and convert again.
Can I convert the JSON back to XML?
Yes — use the JSON to XML Converter for the reverse direction. Be aware that round trips aren't always identical, because JSON can't always tell a one-element array from a single object without extra conventions.
Is my XML uploaded?
No. Parsing and conversion happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so it's safe for data containing sensitive values.
