XML to JSON Converter

Paste an XML document and get a clean, pretty-printed JSON output in seconds. Handles nested elements, repeated sibling tags (converted to arrays), text coercion for numbers and booleans, and deeply nested structures. Runs entirely in your browser using the native XML parser — nothing is uploaded.

Where Is This Useful?

Consuming SOAP and legacy APIs
Many older enterprise APIs return XML responses. Convert a sample SOAP response to JSON to understand the structure before writing your parser code or building a typed interface.
Data migration and ETL
Moving data from an XML-based system to a modern JSON-native datastore? Convert a representative XML document to see the JSON shape, then use it to build your migration schema.
RSS and Atom feed parsing
RSS and Atom feeds are XML. Convert a feed sample to JSON to understand the structure when building a feed reader, news aggregator, or content sync pipeline.

How to Use

  1. Paste an XML document in the input panel
  2. Click Convert to JSON or press Ctrl+Enter
  3. Review the JSON output — repeated sibling tags become arrays automatically
  4. Copy the output or download as a .json file

Conversion Rules

  • XML elements become JSON object keys
  • Repeated sibling elements with the same tag become a JSON array
  • Text content that looks like a number is coerced to a number
  • true and false text nodes become JSON booleans
  • Leaf elements with no children become their text content value
  • Deeply nested structures are supported without depth limits

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled?

The converter focuses on element content and children. XML attributes are not included in the JSON output. If you need attribute mapping, consider a dedicated XML library in your code.

What happens to repeated tags?

When multiple child elements share the same tag name, they are automatically grouped into a JSON array.

Can I convert JSON back to XML?

Yes. Use the JSON to XML Converter to go the other direction.

Is my XML uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion uses the browser built-in XML parser and runs entirely locally. Your data never leaves your machine.
