XML to JSON Converter

Bridge Legacy Data with Modern APIs

Integrating legacy XML systems with modern JavaScript applications can be a headache. Our XML to JSON Converter simplifies this workflow by automating the parsing process. It intelligently maps XML nodes, attributes, and text values into a structured JSON object, making your data ready for React, Vue, Angular, or Node.js environments instantly.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Unlike server-side converters, your sensitive XML data never leaves your computer, ensuring maximum security and zero latency.

Quick Conversion Guide

1. Input: Paste your raw XML string into the left-hand panel.
2. Process: Click "Convert to JSON" to parse the DOM tree.
3. Result: Copy the resulting JSON object from the right-hand panel. Attributes are preserved (prefixed with @) and child nodes are nested automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between XML and JSON?

XML is a verbose markup language using opening and closing tags, ideal for complex document structures. JSON is a lightweight data format using key-value pairs, designed for speed and ease of use in web applications.

How do I convert XML to JSON?

Simply paste your XML code into our tool and click convert. The engine parses the XML DOM and transforms it into a JavaScript object, which is then serialized into valid JSON string.

Why convert XML to JSON?

JSON is the native data format for JavaScript. Converting XML to JSON reduces file size, improves parsing speed in browsers, and simplifies data manipulation in modern frontend frameworks.

Does XML to JSON conversion lose data?

No, but the structure changes. Since JSON lacks "attributes," this tool maps XML attributes to special keys (e.g., @id) to ensure no data is lost during the transformation.

Can you convert XML with attributes to JSON?

Yes. Our converter detects attributes within XML tags and converts them into JSON properties, typically prefixed with an @ symbol to distinguish them from child elements.
