About XML ↔ JSON
The XML ↔ JSON converter translates older SOAP/XML responses into modern JSON structures and vice versa. It bridges the gap between legacy systems and modern REST APIs seamlessly.
How to Use
1
Paste your XML or JSON into the input editor.
2
The tool parses the hierarchy and generates the equivalent format.
3
You can configure how attributes and root nodes are handled via the settings.
Real-World Examples
Parsing Legacy API Responses
Convert a legacy XML user object into a JSON response suitable for a modern web frontend.
Input
<user id="1"> <name>John</name> </user>
Output
{
"user": {
"_id": "1",
"name": "John"
}
}Best Practices
- Be aware that converting XML to JSON can be lossy if the XML relies heavily on attributes and namespaces.
Pro Tips
Attributes in XML (e.g., `<user id="1">`) are usually converted into JSON keys prefixed with an underscore or '@' symbol.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some elements become arrays?
If an XML document has multiple child tags with the exact same name, they are grouped into a JSON array.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. All processing is done locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers.
Security & Privacy
The XML parser operates safely within your browser's sandboxed environment without executing external entities.
