Free Online XML to JSON Converter

Convert XML data to JSON format instantly. Handles nested elements, attributes, and text content using the browser's built-in XML parser.

How the XML to JSON Converter Works

This tool uses the browser DOMParser to recursively convert XML tree structures into JSON objects. Elements become keys, nested elements become nested objects, repeated elements become arrays, attributes get an @ prefix.

Conversion Rules

Text-only elements become string values. Elements with children become nested objects. Same-name siblings are grouped into arrays. Attributes are prefixed with @ to distinguish from child elements.

Limitations and Edge Cases

Works with well-formed XML. Namespaces are preserved in element names. CDATA sections are treated as text content. Very large XML may cause browser performance issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled?
Attributes become JSON keys prefixed with @. For example, becomes {"@id": "1"}.
How are repeated elements handled?
Same-name siblings are automatically grouped into a JSON array.
Does it handle XML namespaces?
Namespace prefixes are preserved in element names as they appear in the XML.
What if my XML is malformed?
The DOMParser reports errors for malformed XML. The tool alerts you to fix the syntax before conversion.
Can I convert JSON back to XML?
This tool only converts XML to JSON. The reverse requires a separate tool since JSON doesn't preserve XML-specific features.
