What is XML to JSON?

XML to JSON converts any XML document — configs, RSS feeds, SOAP responses, SVG, or exported data — into clean, indented JSON you can actually read and work with. Attributes are preserved as @-prefixed keys, repeated tags collapse into arrays, and numbers and booleans are coerced to real JSON types. Paste your XML on the left and the JSON updates live on the right. Everything runs in your browser, so your data is never uploaded.

How to use XML to JSON

  1. Paste your XML

    Drop your XML into the Input box, or click Load file to open an .xml, .svg, or .rss document from your device. A sample is loaded to start with.

  2. Read the JSON

    The converted JSON appears instantly on the right, pretty-printed with two-space indentation so nested structures are easy to scan.

  3. Understand the mapping

    Element attributes become keys prefixed with @ (like @id), text that sits beside child elements is stored under #text, and tags that repeat within a parent become a JSON array.

  4. Fix any errors

    If the XML is malformed, a red message explains what went wrong. Check that every tag is closed and correctly nested, then the JSON regenerates automatically.

  5. Copy or download

    Use Copy to grab the JSON, or Download to save it as converted.json ready to drop into your project or API test.
