About XML to JSON Converter

XML to JSON conversion bridges two of the most widely used data interchange formats in software development. While XML remains prevalent in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, and configuration files, JSON has become the standard for modern REST APIs, JavaScript applications, and NoSQL databases. Converting between these formats is a common task when integrating legacy systems with modern services or migrating data pipelines.

This tool performs the entire conversion directly in your browser using the native DOMParser API — no data is sent to any server, keeping your content completely private. It handles XML attributes (prefixed with @_), deeply nested elements, repeated child elements (automatically converted to JSON arrays), CDATA sections, and mixed content. Simply paste your XML, click Convert, and get clean JSON output instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is XML to JSON Converter? expand_more
XML to JSON Converter is a free online tool that transforms XML markup into equivalent JSON data structures. It parses your XML document and produces a clean, well-structured JSON object that preserves the hierarchy, attributes, and text content of the original XML.
How are XML attributes handled? expand_more
XML attributes are converted to JSON properties prefixed with @_ to distinguish them from child elements. For example, an attribute id="123" on an element becomes "@_id": "123" in the JSON output.
Is my data secure? expand_more
Yes. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the native DOMParser API. No data is transmitted to any server, so your XML content remains completely private.
Does it handle nested XML? expand_more
Yes. The converter uses a recursive algorithm that traverses the entire XML DOM tree, preserving all levels of nesting in the resulting JSON structure.
What happens with repeated elements? expand_more
When multiple sibling elements share the same tag name, they are automatically grouped into a JSON array. For example, multiple <item> elements inside a parent will become an array of objects under the "item" key.
