How to convert XML to JSON online

  1. Step 1 – Paste or upload XML

    Paste XML into the left editor or upload a .xml file from your computer.

  2. Step 2 – Inspect the structure

    As you edit, the tool parses your XML and converts it into a JSON object tree that mirrors elements, attributes, and nested nodes.

  3. Step 3 – Review the JSON output

    The JSON result appears on the right, formatted for readability. Errors in the XML input will be shown above the editors.

  4. Step 4 – Copy or download JSON

    Copy the converted JSON to your clipboard or download it as a .json file to use in your APIs, tests, or applications.

Quick tips for XML to JSON

  • Well-formed XML is required; unclosed tags or invalid characters will cause parse errors.
  • Attributes are usually mapped with a prefix (like @), and text nodes with #text.
  • After converting, you can generate JSON Schema or TypeScript types for the resulting JSON structure.
Example: XML to JSON
<!-- XML input -->
<order id="ORD-1001">
  <customer name="Maeve" email="maeve@example.com" />
  <item sku="SKU-001">Wireless Mouse</item>
  <item sku="SKU-002">Mechanical Keyboard</item>
</order>

// JSON output (simplified)
{
  "order": {
    "@id": "ORD-1001",
    "customer": {
      "@name": "Maeve",
      "@email": "maeve@example.com"
    },
    "item": [
      { "@sku": "SKU-001", "#text": "Wireless Mouse" },
      { "@sku": "SKU-002", "#text": "Mechanical Keyboard" }
    ]
  }
}

Frequently Asked Questions

What XML features are supported in the conversion?

The converter supports standard XML elements, attributes, text content, and CDATA sections. It handles nested structures and converts them to appropriate JSON objects and arrays.

How are XML attributes handled in the JSON output?

XML attributes are typically converted to JSON properties with a special prefix (like '@') to distinguish them from element content, or they may be merged into the element's JSON representation depending on the conversion logic.

Can I convert large XML files?

Yes, the converter can handle large XML files, but performance may vary based on file size and complexity. For very large files, consider breaking them into smaller chunks if possible.

What happens to XML namespaces during conversion?

XML namespaces are preserved in the JSON output, typically as part of the element names or as separate properties. The exact handling depends on the conversion implementation.
