JSON to XML Converter

Convert any JSON data into clean XML with proper indentation. Objects become nested elements, arrays become repeated elements, and characters like < and & are escaped automatically. Useful for integrating with SOAP services, legacy systems and any workflow that still requires XML.

Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your data is never transmitted.

How to use JSON to XML Converter

  1. Paste your JSON into the box.
  2. Optionally set the root element name (used when your JSON has no single root).
  3. Press “Convert”.
  4. Copy the XML or download it as an .xml file.

About this tool

Plenty of enterprise systems — banking, logistics, government portals — still exchange XML. When your data lives in JSON, hand-writing the XML equivalent is a chore full of escaping mistakes.

This tool walks your JSON structure and emits valid XML, sanitizing element names and escaping content so the output always parses cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

How are arrays converted?
Each array item becomes a repeated element with the same name as its key — the standard way to represent lists in XML.
What if a JSON key is not a valid XML name?
Invalid characters (spaces, punctuation) are replaced with underscores, and names starting with a digit get a leading underscore, so the XML stays well-formed.
What does the root element option do?
XML needs a single top-level element. If your JSON already has exactly one top-level key, that key is used; otherwise your chosen root name wraps everything.
Are special characters escaped?
Yes. Text values automatically escape &, <, > and quotes, so strings containing markup do not break the document.
Is the output valid XML?
Yes — it starts with a standard XML declaration and produces properly nested, escaped elements you can paste into any XML tool.
