XML to JSON

Overview

• Converts XML-formatted data into JSON format.
• Attributes are represented with an "@attributeName" key, and the direct text content of an element with no child elements is represented with a "#text" key. This is a common convention used in XML-to-JSON conversion.
• When multiple child elements share the same name, they are converted into a JSON array.

Usage

1. Enter the XML you want to convert into the text area.
2. Click the "Convert" button.
3. The result, converted to JSON format, is displayed below. Use the "Copy" button to copy it to the clipboard.

Example

<person id="1"><name>Taro</name><age>20</age></person>

{
  "person": {
    "@id": "1",
    "name": "Taro",
    "age": "20"
  }
}

Use Cases

• Converting an XML-formatted API response or feed (such as RSS) into JSON to pass to a script or another tool
• Converting an XML configuration file's contents to read them more like JSON
• Feeding in output created with "JSON to XML" to check that the converted result matches expectations

FAQ

Notes

• Attributes are represented with an "@attributeName" key, and the direct text of an element with no child elements is represented with a "#text" key (only when the element also has attributes).
• Multiple child elements with the same name are converted into a JSON array, and an empty element (no child elements or text) becomes null.
• All values are converted to strings exactly as written in the XML (no conversion to numbers or booleans is performed).
• Content that mixes text and elements (mixed content) is not fully preserved.
