About XML to JSON Converter

Modernize legacy XML payloads by transforming them into clean, portable JSON arrays and objects.

XML to JSON Converter Example

Input

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<user>
  <name>John</name>
  <age>30</age>
</user>

Output

{"user":{"name":"John","age":"30"}}

How XML to JSON Converter Works

  1. 1Paste your raw XML string or document directly into the input editor.
  2. 2The formatting engine parses the document tree, seamlessly converting XML nodes into JSON objects and preserving tag attributes.
  3. 3Check the live preview to verify the JSON structure validates perfectly against your expected schema.
  4. 4Copy the resulting structured .json markup to your clipboard for use in REST APIs or JavaScript applications.

XML to JSON Converter Use Cases

  • Modernize legacy SOAP API responses for use in lightweight web clients.
  • Extract data from older XML configuration files into readable JSON formats.
  • Parse syndicated RSS feed data into manageable JSON objects.
  • Convert enterprise XML database exports for NoSQL ingestion.

XML to JSON Converter Frequently Asked Questions

How does the parser handle XML attributes vs. text nodes?

When converting XML, structural conflicts often arise between tag attributes (e.g., `<book id="1">`) and the inner text. Our advanced parsing engine neatly resolves this by prefixing XML attributes with a dedicated symbol (usually `@` or `_`) in the resulting JSON object, ensuring zero data loss during the migration.

Can I convert complex SOAP APIs into RESTful JSON?

Yes, this tool is heavily utilized by backend engineers migrating legacy enterprise systems. By pasting a raw XML SOAP Envelope into the converter, you can instantly generate a cleanly mapped JSON payload ready for integration into a modern Node.js or React application.

What happens to repeated XML tags?

XML schema allows multiple siblings with the exact same tag name (e.g., multiple `<item>` tags). Our converter intelligently detects this pattern and automatically groups those sibling elements into a strictly formatted JSON Array `[ ]`, preserving the list structure perfectly.

Is my enterprise XML data logged or monitored?

No. The DOMParser API used to parse your XML document is a native browser API — your XML input never leaves the browser tab. Enterprise SOAP payloads, RSS feeds, and internal schema documents are parsed in your local memory and discarded on tab close without any network activity.

Why Use Our XML to JSON Converter?

Consuming data from SOAP endpoints or RSS feeds in a modern JavaScript application can be highly cumbersome. The XML to JSON Converter seamlessly digests verbose XML trees and distills them into lightweight, idiomatic JSON objects.

By preserving intrinsic attributes and accurately flattening nested nodes, the converter ensures that no metadata is lost in translation. Developers can rapidly integrate legacy data sources into contemporary RESTful architectures without writing repetitive parsing logic.
