What is an XML to JSON converter?

JSON has become the standard data format for web APIs, JavaScript applications, and modern developer tools. If you are working with legacy systems, third-party exports, or enterprise software that still outputs XML, converting to JSON makes the data immediately usable in code. This tool converts any well-formed XML into structured JSON, entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

The converter preserves the full XML structure: element names become JSON keys, text content becomes values, and XML attributes are kept with an @ prefix (e.g., @id, @type). Repeating sibling elements with the same tag are automatically grouped into a JSON array. The output is formatted with 2-space indentation for readability.

AttributesPreserved as @attributeName keys
Repeating elementsAutomatically converted to arrays
Text nodesInline text alongside children stored as #text

How to use this tool

File mode. Drop one or more .xml files into the drop zone. Each file is parsed immediately and a preview shows the first 2,000 characters of the JSON output. Click the download button to save the full .json file.

Paste mode. Switch to the Paste tab and paste your XML into the left panel. The JSON output appears in the right panel instantly as you type. Copy it to the clipboard or download it as a .json file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled in the JSON output?
XML attributes are preserved as keys prefixed with @. For example, a product element with id=42 becomes an object with key @id set to 42 in the JSON output.
What happens with repeating XML elements?
Elements with the same tag that appear multiple times under the same parent are automatically grouped into a JSON array. A single occurrence stays as an object.
Can I convert multiple XML files at once?
Yes. Drop multiple .xml files at the same time and each gets its own card with a preview and download button. Use Download All to convert all files in one click.
Is the output valid JSON?
Yes. The output is formatted, valid JSON with 2-space indentation. You can paste it directly into any JSON validator, code editor, or API testing tool.
Does my data get uploaded anywhere?
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your XML files never leave your device.
