About this tool
XML to JSON Converter is a free, in-browser tool that converts between XML and JSON in both directions. Paste XML and press XML → JSON to get a structured JSON object; paste JSON and press JSON → XML to rebuild the markup. The conversion runs entirely on your device using the browser's native parser — nothing is uploaded and it keeps working offline.
Going from XML to JSON, each element becomes an object: attributes are stored under keys prefixed with @, text content lives under #text (or becomes the value directly when an element has no attributes or children), and repeated child elements collapse into an array. Going the other way, the same conventions are reversed — @keys become attributes, #text becomes element text, arrays expand back into repeated tags — and the output is indented and XML-escaped. If the input is not well-formed XML or valid JSON, the tool reports it rather than producing broken output.
Use it to inspect a SOAP or RSS payload as JSON, to feed legacy XML into a JSON-only API, or to hand-author XML by writing simpler JSON first. It complements a one-way JSON-to-XML generator and an XML pretty-printer by covering the missing XML → JSON direction with a real parse.
