XML to JSON
ConverterConvert an XML document to JSON via DOMParser with attribute and namespace support for modernizing legacy API responses and config file processing.
About XML to JSON
After receiving XML from SOAP responses, RSS feeds, Android layouts, or legacy APIs, frontends and modern services usually want JSON. This tool parses XML and converts it to JSON locally in your browser, sensibly handling attributes, text nodes, namespaces, and repeated-element-to-array mapping. Nothing is uploaded, so internal messages are safe. Tip: Bookmark this tool for quick access whenever you need format conversion. All processing happens locally in your browser — no data upload, so feel free to paste sensitive content.
How to Use
- Open the XML to JSON tool page
- Enter or paste your data into the input area
- View the real-time results and use the copy button to get the output
Use Cases
- Consume SOAP responses — Convert XML from a SOAP endpoint to JSON so the frontend can use JSON.parse directly.
- Parse RSS/Atom — Convert feed XML to JSON to easily extract title, link, and date fields.
- Migrate legacy systems — Convert legacy XML data to JSON for import into new JSON-based services.
- Read configs — Convert XML config to JSON to avoid bundling a heavy XML parser in the frontend.
- Analyze data — After converting to JSON, query and aggregate with jq or JSONPath.
- Transform SVG data — Convert SVG XML markup to JSON for dynamic rendering in React or Vue components.
- Parse EDI/XML messages — Convert EDI-standard XML to JSON objects for processing in modern data pipelines.
FAQ
Are XML attributes lost?
No. Attributes typically map to keys with a prefix (e.g. @ or $) to distinguish them from child elements, keeping all information.
How are repeated elements handled?
Repeated same-name children become a JSON array; elements appearing once become a plain object — as expected.
What about namespaces?
Namespace prefixes are usually kept in key names (e.g. ns:tag). Clean them up manually after conversion if not needed.
What about mixed content (text + children)?
When an element has both text and child nodes, the text goes into a dedicated key (e.g. #text) while children map normally.
Need the reverse?
Use our JSON to XML tool.
Any browser compatibility requirements?
This tool works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). No plugins or extensions required.
Can I use it offline?
After initial load, most features work offline. The core logic runs entirely in your browser with no network dependency.
