About this XML to JSON converter
XML to JSON converts XML into JSON that is easy to use in JavaScript and modern APIs, using a predictable mapping you can rely on.
How XML to JSON conversion works
- The XML is parsed and validated in your browser.
- Attributes become keys prefixed with @, repeated elements become arrays and text content is kept as values.
Conversion quality: High fidelity. Elements, attributes (prefixed with @) and text are preserved. Comments and processing instructions are dropped.
When to convert XML to JSON
- Working with RSS/Atom feeds, sitemaps or SOAP responses in JavaScript
- Migrating XML configuration to JSON
Limitations to be aware of
- Comments, processing instructions and the XML declaration are not part of the JSON output.
- Mixed content (text interleaved with elements) is simplified.
XML vs JSON

JSON. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the most common format for exchanging structured data between web services. It supports nested objects and arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
