About This Tool

The XML to JSON Converter parses your XML documents and transforms them into clean, structured JSON. This is invaluable when integrating with legacy SOAP APIs, processing RSS feeds, or migrating data from XML-based systems to modern JSON-driven applications.

XML to JSON conversion involves decisions about how to represent attributes, text content, namespaces, and mixed content. This tool provides sensible defaults while giving you control over these choices. Attributes can be prefixed, nested, or merged with element properties depending on your preference.

The parser handles well-formed XML including nested elements, attributes, CDATA sections, and self-closing tags. Error messages clearly indicate parsing problems with line and column information. The JSON output is formatted with proper indentation for easy readability.

Frequently Asked Questions

By default, XML attributes are prefixed with @ and included as properties of the element object. For example, <item id="1"> becomes {"item": {"@id": "1"}}. You can configure this behavior to suit your needs.
CDATA sections are treated as text content and their values are extracted as plain strings in the JSON output. The CDATA wrapper is removed since JSON does not have an equivalent concept.
The converter preserves namespace prefixes in element and attribute names. For example, <ns:element> becomes a JSON key of "ns:element". Full namespace URI resolution is not performed.
Mixed content where text nodes are interspersed with child elements is handled by placing text content in a special #text property alongside the child element properties in the JSON output.
