How to Convert XML to JSON - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your XML Data

Start by entering your XML data that needs to be converted to JSON format:

•
Paste XML data: Copy XML from your applications, web services, or configuration files
•
Upload XML files: Select .xml files from your computer for conversion
•
Use sample data: Click "Sample" to load example XML and see the JSON conversion 🔄

Example: XML Input

Here's a typical XML structure ready for JSON conversion:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
  <product id="1" category="electronics">
    <name>Laptop Pro</name>
    <price currency="USD">1299.99</price>
    <description>High-performance laptop</description>
    <specs>
      <cpu>Intel i7</cpu>
      <ram>16GB</ram>
      <storage>512GB SSD</storage>
    </specs>
    <available>true</available>
  </product>
  <product id="2" category="electronics">
    <name>Smartphone X</name>
    <price currency="USD">899.99</price>
    <description>Latest smartphone</description>
    <specs>
      <cpu>A15 Bionic</cpu>
      <ram>8GB</ram>
      <storage>256GB</storage>
    </specs>
    <available>false</available>
  </product>
</products>
Step 2

Configure Conversion Options

Customize how your XML is converted to JSON format with various parsing options:

•
Attribute handling: Choose how XML attributes are represented in JSON
•
Text node processing: Control how XML text content is converted
•
Array detection: Automatically detect repeating elements as JSON arrays
•
Format output: Enable pretty formatting with proper indentation

The same XML, now converted to structured JSON: ✨

{
  "products": {
    "product": [
      {
        "@id": "1",
        "@category": "electronics",
        "name": "Laptop Pro",
        "price": {
          "@currency": "USD",
          "#text": 1299.99
        },
        "description": "High-performance laptop",
        "specs": {
          "cpu": "Intel i7",
          "ram": "16GB",
          "storage": "512GB SSD"
        },
        "available": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

What is XML to JSON Conversion? 🔄

XML to JSON conversion transforms hierarchical XML data into lightweight JSON format, making it perfect for modern web applications and APIs. This process intelligently handles XML elements, attributes, and nested structures, converting them into JSON objects and arrays while preserving data relationships.

The conversion process offers flexible options for handling XML attributes, text nodes, and repeating elements, ensuring the resulting JSON structure matches your application's requirements and integrates seamlessly with JavaScript frameworks and REST APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled in JSON conversion?

XML attributes are converted to JSON properties with an "@" prefix (e.g., "@id", "@type") to distinguish them from element content. You can also configure the tool to handle attributes differently based on your application's needs, such as merging them with element content or creating separate attribute objects.

Can the tool detect and convert repeating XML elements to JSON arrays?

Yes! The tool automatically detects repeating XML elements and converts them to JSON arrays. This makes it perfect for converting XML lists, collections, and datasets into JSON format that's ready for use in JavaScript applications and data processing workflows.

Is the converted JSON compatible with REST APIs and JavaScript frameworks?

Absolutely! The generated JSON follows standard formatting that's fully compatible with REST APIs, Node.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, and other JavaScript frameworks. The output is properly formatted and ready for immediate use in modern web applications. You can also visualize the JSON data in table format for easier analysis.

How does the tool handle XML namespaces in JSON conversion?

XML namespaces are intelligently handled during conversion. The tool can either preserve namespace information in the JSON structure or strip namespaces for cleaner output, depending on your configuration preferences and application requirements.

Can I customize the JSON output format and structure?

Yes! The tool offers various customization options including attribute handling, text node processing, array detection, and formatting preferences. You can configure the output to match your specific JSON schema requirements and application needs.

Is there a limit on XML file size for JSON conversion?

No limits! Convert XML files of any size to JSON format completely free. The tool efficiently processes large XML documents and generates properly formatted JSON output ready for use in web applications, APIs, and data processing systems.
