Local conversion

XML is parsed and converted into JSON in your browser without backend calls.

Attributes supported

Choose @ prefixed attributes, grouped _attributes, or omit attributes when needed.

API-friendly output

Nested XML and repeated elements are converted into readable JSON objects and arrays.

Dynamic Conversion Insights

Your XML was converted into JSON under the root element "user".
Repeated XML elements were converted into JSON arrays.
XML attributes are preserved using @ prefixed keys.
Text values are currently preserved as strings.
The XML structure maps cleanly to nested JSON objects.

How XML to JSON Conversion Works

XML stores data with named elements, attributes, text nodes, and nested structures.

JSON stores data as objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null.

XML elements usually become JSON object keys.

Repeated XML elements usually become arrays.

XML attributes need a chosen representation because JSON has no attribute concept.

XML vs JSON Explained

XML

Tag-based and common in feeds, legacy systems, documents, and integrations.

JSON

Lightweight and common in modern APIs, web apps, and JavaScript workflows.

Elements, Attributes, Text Nodes, and Arrays Explained

XML elements become JSON properties.
Attributes need prefixes or grouped objects.
Text nodes can become strings or _text values.
Repeated elements become arrays.
Namespaces may need manual review.
Mixed content is harder to represent in JSON.
JSON does not have a direct equivalent for every XML feature.

API, Feed, and Integration Use Cases

Converting XML API responses to JSON
Working with RSS or XML feeds
Transforming legacy integration data
Preparing JSON examples from XML
Converting product feeds
Debugging webhooks and payloads
Preparing data for modern APIs
Simplifying XML exports
Creating developer test fixtures

Common XML-to-JSON Examples

Simple XML element to JSON object
XML attributes to @ prefixed keys
XML attributes grouped under _attributes
Repeated XML elements to JSON arrays
Nested XML to nested JSON
XML text nodes to strings
XML declaration ignored or removed
Namespace warning example

Privacy and Local Processing Notes

Pasted XML is processed locally in the browser.

No account is required, and no backend storage is added by this page.

Downloaded JSON is generated locally.

XML is parsed as data, not executed as code.

External entities and resources are not resolved or fetched.

Avoid pasting sensitive production data unless necessary.

Method Explanation

  1. 1. Read the pasted XML text.
  2. 2. Parse and validate the XML safely.
  3. 3. Detect the root element.
  4. 4. Convert XML elements into JSON keys.
  5. 5. Convert repeated elements into arrays.
  6. 6. Preserve attributes using the selected attribute mode.
  7. 7. Convert text nodes using the selected text mode.
  8. 8. Apply optional trimming or primitive parsing.
  9. 9. Format the output as pretty or compact JSON.
  10. 10. Copy or download the JSON result.
