How to use the XML to JSON
1. Paste valid XML into the input field.
2. Click Convert to get the equivalent JSON structure.
3. Copy and use in JavaScript, Python, or any modern API.
What is it?
XML to JSON conversion is a common task when consuming legacy SOAP APIs or RSS feeds in modern applications. This tool uses the browser's native DOMParser for accurate XML parsing, then recursively converts element trees into JavaScript objects.
Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are automatically collected into JSON arrays. Text-only elements become string values. This produces clean, idiomatic JSON ready for use in REST APIs and modern JavaScript applications.
Example
<?xml version="1.0"?> <user> <name>Alice</name> <age>30</age> <role>admin</role> </user>
{
"name": "Alice",
"age": "30",
"role": "admin"
}Benefits
Modernise XML API responses for JavaScript applications
REST and GraphQL clients work natively with JSON — convert XML responses to access data with simple dot notation instead of XPath.
Parse SOAP and legacy API responses without an XML library
Convert to JSON and work with the data immediately — no need to install and configure an XML parsing dependency.
Extract data from RSS and Atom feeds into structured JSON
Convert feed XML to JSON arrays for processing, display, or indexing without a feed-specific parsing library.
Migrate XML configuration files to modern JSON format
Convert legacy .xml config files to JSON equivalents for modern tooling without manually rewriting every property.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All conversions happen entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
Are there size limits?
No hard limit, but very large files may slow the browser. For files over 10MB, consider a dedicated CLI tool.
What happens to XML attributes?
Currently, XML attributes are not included in the output — only element content and children are converted. This is sufficient for most data-exchange XML formats.
