How it works
How to use the XML to JSON
Paste or open XML
Paste your XML, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.
Adjust the options
Numbers and booleans are detected automatically, and the result is pretty-printed with your chosen indentation.
Copy or download the JSON
The output updates as you type. Invalid input is highlighted with the exact line and column.
About XML and JSON
XML (Extensible Markup Language) represents data as nested elements with attributes. It is still everywhere in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, Office documents and Android resources.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the standard format for web APIs and configuration: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
How the conversion works
Numbers and booleans are detected automatically, and the result is pretty-printed with your chosen indentation. Attributes become keys prefixed with "@" and element text becomes "#text"; repeated elements become arrays. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so even sensitive data never leaves your device.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is XML to JSON conversion lossless?
The data is preserved. Formatting details that JSON cannot represent (such as comments or attribute-versus-element choices) may change.
Can I convert JSON back to XML?
Yes — press Swap to reverse the direction, or open the JSON to XML converter.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
