About XML to JSON

XML to JSON transforms XML documents into clean JSON structures, making it easy to consume legacy XML data in modern JavaScript applications and REST APIs. It maps XML elements to JSON objects, attributes to prefixed keys, and text content to string values. This tool is invaluable when integrating with SOAP services, RSS feeds, or enterprise systems that still rely on XML.

Key Features

  • Converts XML elements, attributes, text nodes, and CDATA sections into JSON equivalents
  • Preserves XML namespaces as prefixed keys for disambiguation
  • Handles mixed content elements containing both text and child nodes
  • Automatically converts repeated sibling elements into JSON arrays
  • Supports attribute-to-key mapping with configurable prefix conventions like @ or _
  • Validates XML well-formedness and reports parsing errors with detailed messages

How to Use XML to JSON

  1. 1

    Paste your XML

    Copy the XML content from your SOAP response, RSS feed, configuration file, or API output and paste it into the input area.

  2. 2

    Configure attribute handling

    Choose how XML attributes should appear in the JSON output, such as using an @ prefix or merging them with child elements.

  3. 3

    Click Convert

    Press Convert to parse the XML document and generate the corresponding JSON structure.

  4. 4

    Review the JSON output

    Examine the result to verify that elements, attributes, and text content have been mapped correctly to JSON keys and values.

  5. 5

    Copy or download the JSON

    Click the copy button or download the JSON file for use in your application, database import, or API integration.

Common Use Cases

SOAP to REST Migration

Convert SOAP XML responses into JSON format as part of migrating legacy SOAP services to modern RESTful APIs that communicate via JSON.

RSS Feed Processing

Transform RSS or Atom XML feeds into JSON structures that can be easily consumed by frontend frameworks and mobile applications.

Enterprise System Integration

Bridge XML-based enterprise systems like SAP or Oracle with modern microservices that expect JSON by converting data at the integration layer.

Configuration File Modernization

Convert legacy XML configuration files into JSON equivalents for applications migrating to JSON-based configuration formats.

Why Use Our XML to JSON

Handle XML-to-JSON conversion directly in your browser without wrestling with XSLT, xmltodict, or heavyweight parsing libraries. This tool correctly manages XML attributes, namespaces, CDATA sections, and repeated elements, which are common pitfalls that break simpler converters. No sign-up or data upload required, making it safe for converting sensitive SOAP responses or enterprise XML feeds.

Enterprise XML Stays on Your Machine

XML to JSON transformation is executed entirely in your browser with no server round-trips. SOAP responses, RSS feeds, and enterprise data from systems like SAP or Oracle — often containing customer records and transaction details — never leave your device. Convert sensitive XML payloads without compliance concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the converter handle XML attributes?
XML attributes are mapped to JSON keys with a configurable prefix, typically @. For example, <item id="1"> becomes {"@id": "1"}. This prevents collisions between attribute names and child element names.
What happens with repeated XML elements?
When multiple sibling elements share the same tag name, the converter automatically wraps them in a JSON array. A single element remains an object, while two or more become an array of objects.
Does the tool support XML namespaces?
Yes. Namespace prefixes are preserved in the JSON keys, so <ns:element> becomes a key like ns:element in the output. This ensures that namespaced XML documents retain their semantic distinctions after conversion.
