XML to JSON Converter

Convert XML documents to JSON with auto-typed values and array detection

What is the XML to JSON Converter?

The xml to json converter works like this: it parses XML with the browser's DOM parser and emits JSON using predictable rules: repeated tags become arrays, text values auto-type to numbers/booleans, attributes keep under "@"-prefixed keys. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the XML to JSON Converter

1. Paste the input (code, data or query).
2. Run the operation - formatting and validation are instant.
3. Read any validation message before trusting the output.
4. Copy the result into your project.

Features

• Instant client-side formatting and validation
• No telemetry on your data
• Copy-ready output with proper escaping

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using the wrong input dialect (JSON vs JSON5, cron 5 vs 6 fields)
• Copying output without checking escaping

Examples

Input	Result
<user id="7"><active>true</active></user>	{"user":{"@id":"7","active":true}}

Best used for

• Getting a reliable answer for xml to json converter without installing an app
• One-off tasks done in under a minute from any device
• Checking results before committing them to something important
• Working on a phone where desktop software is unavailable

Privacy

All parsing and transformation happens locally in this tab - your code and data are not sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Why the @ prefix on attributes?

It prevents collisions between attributes and child elements, and mirrors the convention used by mainstream XML-to-JSON libraries.

What happens to mixed content (text + children)?

Text alongside child elements lands in a "#text" key so nothing is silently dropped.

How does the converter decide arrays?

A tag that repeats under the same parent becomes a JSON array; a tag appearing once stays a plain object - the predictable rule that keeps round-trips sensible.

Are text values auto-typed?

Yes - text that parses as a number or boolean becomes a JSON number or boolean, so <count>42</count> turns into 42 rather than "42".
