XML to JSON Converter
Convert XML to JSON Online for APIs, Configs & Integrations
Paste your XML and convert it into clean, structured JSON in one click. Great for developers working with APIs, configuration files, legacy systems, or data transformation workflows.
Structured JSON Output
Converts XML nodes, attributes, and text into a JSON structure using keys like @attributes and #text so the mapping is consistent and predictable.
Developer-Friendly Formatting
JSON is pretty-printed with indentation for easy reading, debugging, and direct copy-paste into config files, test data, or API payloads.
Local Parsing & Error Feedback
XML is parsed in your browser using DOMParser. Invalid XML shows a clear error message instead of breaking the page or returning partial output.
Why convert XML to JSON?
XML is still widely used in legacy systems, older configuration formats, and some enterprise APIs - but modern applications often prefer JSON because it's lighter, easier to work with in JavaScript, and better aligned with RESTful and modern backend standards.
This tool helps you quickly transform XML into JSON so you can prototype integrations, migrate configs, debug responses, or plug legacy data into newer systems without writing one-off scripts every time.
How the XML to JSON Converter Works
- Your XML is parsed in the browser using the built-in DOMParser.
- The root element is walked recursively: each element, attribute, and text node is converted into a nested JSON structure.
- Attributes are grouped under the @attributes key, while mixed content text is stored under "#text".
- Repeated child elements with the same tag name are converted into JSON arrays for easier iteration in code.
- The final JavaScript object is serialized with JSON.stringify using indentation so the output is human-readable.
- If the XML is malformed, a readable error message is shown instead of a broken or partial JSON output.
How to Use this XML to JSON Tool
- Copy the XML you want to convert from your editor, API response, or file.
- Paste the XML into the XML Input box in this tool.
- Click the Convert button to parse and transform the XML into JSON.
- Review the result in the JSON Output panel - it will be pretty-printed and easy to scan.
- Use Copy to send the JSON directly to your clipboard, or Download to save it as a .json file.
- If you see an error message, adjust your XML (e.g., fix unclosed tags) and convert again.
Common Use Cases
- Converting XML API responses into JSON for frontend applications.
- Migrating configuration files and settings from XML to JSON.
- Debugging XML responses by viewing them as JSON objects and arrays.
- Generating sample JSON payloads from existing XML data for documentation.
- Demonstrating or teaching the structural differences between XML and JSON.
Privacy & Usage Disclaimer
All XML parsing and JSON conversion happens directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your XML and JSON are not uploaded, logged, or stored on any external server by this tool.
For highly sensitive or production-critical data, always follow your organization's security policies and handle exports carefully, especially if you save or share the generated JSON files.
