XML to JSON Converter
Convert well-formed XML documents into readable JSON for APIs, JavaScript, and modern data workflows. Elements become object properties, repeated elements become arrays, and attributes remain distinguishable.
Convert XML to JSON
Paste XML or upload an .xml file. The browser validates it before creating formatted JSON on your device.
Press Ctrl/⌘ + Enter to convert.
CSV is best for arrays of records; XML attributes use @_ keys in other formats.
How XML maps to JSON
The converter applies clear rules so you can understand the output before using it in another tool or workflow.
Elements become properties
The XML root and nested child elements become JSON keys. Text values such as numbers and booleans are inferred where possible.
Attributes use an @_ prefix
An XML attribute such as id becomes @_id in JSON, keeping it separate from a child element with a similar name.
Repeated elements become arrays
Sibling elements with the same name are represented as a JSON array, while numeric and boolean text values are recognized where possible.
