An XML to JSON Converter transforms XML data into JSON format — bridging enterprise systems that speak XML with modern web and mobile applications that consume JSON. This converter handles the structural mismatch between XML's attribute-and-element model and JSON's key-value model intelligently: attributes become @attribute keys or are merged into the parent, repeated elements become JSON arrays, and text content is cleanly extracted. For systems migrating from SOAP to REST, or integrating legacy XML feeds with modern SPAs, this is the essential bridge tool.
Paste XML. The converter parses it into a DOM tree, then walks the tree to build equivalent JSON. Key decisions: (1) Attributes: placed under '@attrName' keys, or merged at the same level as child elements, (2) Repeated children: collected into JSON arrays, (3) Mixed content (text + elements in the same node): text goes to '#text' key, (4) Namespaces: stripped by default but can be preserved. The JSON output can be formatted compact or pretty-printed.
XML → JSON Conversion:\n\nSimple element → property:\n<name>John</name> → \
It will be semantically equivalent, but not structurally identical — XML has concepts (attributes vs. elements, namespaces, mixed content, comments, CDATA) that don't have direct JSON equivalents. Our converter makes sensible choices but always review the output.
Our tool supports both directions. However, JSON → XML is even lossier because JSON lacks XML's distinction between attributes and elements. The converter makes reasonable assumptions (keys → elements, @ prefixed keys → attributes), but round-tripping won't reproduce the original XML exactly.
