XML to JSON

Convert XML to JSON format

About XML to JSON

XML to JSON converts XML into JSON using the browser's built-in XML parser (DOMParser), entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. Malformed XML is correctly detected and reported as invalid. Repeated sibling elements become a JSON array automatically, and text content is stored under a '#text' key — but XML attributes are not captured at all; only element names and text content make it into the JSON output.

How to use XML to JSON

  1. 1Paste your XML into the input box.
  2. 2Click 'Convert' to parse it into JSON.
  3. 3Review the output, keeping in mind that attributes are dropped.
  4. 4Click 'Copy' to copy the JSON result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is XML to JSON free to use?

Yes, completely free with no registration required.

Will invalid XML be detected?

Yes — malformed XML is parsed with the browser's real XML parser and reported as 'Invalid XML'.

Are XML attributes included in the JSON output?

No — only element names and text content are converted; attributes (like id="5") are silently dropped.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No, conversion happens entirely in your browser using the native DOMParser.

Tips & Tricks

  • ✓If your XML relies on attributes for important data, that data won't appear in the JSON output — restructure it as child elements first if you need it preserved.
  • ✓Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are automatically grouped into a JSON array.
  • ✓Element text content appears under a '#text' key in the resulting object.
  • ✓Copy the result right after conversion, since there's no download button or saved history.
