XML to JSON Converter

Paste any XML document and get structured JSON back instantly. Tags become objects, repeated tags become arrays, and attributes are preserved as @-prefixed keys. Perfect for migrating data between APIs, debugging feeds and working with legacy exports. Runs fully in your browser.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your data is never uploaded.

About this tool

Many older systems and data feeds still speak XML, while modern apps almost universally prefer JSON. Converting between the two by hand is tedious and error-prone.

This converter parses your XML with a real XML parser, so malformed documents are reported clearly instead of producing broken output, and the mapping rules (attributes, arrays, text nodes) are consistent and predictable.

Frequently asked questions

How are attributes handled?
Attributes become keys prefixed with @ inside the element’s object — for example <book id="1"> produces "book": { "@id": "1", … }. This keeps them distinct from child elements.
What happens with repeated tags?
If a tag appears more than once inside the same parent, it becomes an array automatically, so lists of items stay structured.
Will it tell me if my XML is invalid?
Yes. If the XML is not well-formed, you get a clear error pointing at the problem instead of garbled output.
Does it support namespaces and CDATA?
Tag and attribute names are preserved as they appear, and CDATA sections are read as text. Namespace prefixes stay in the key names.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so sensitive configs and API responses are safe to paste.
