Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert XML to JSON?
Yes. Paste your XML and click XML to JSON to generate a JSON representation that preserves attributes and nested elements.
How are XML attributes handled?
Element attributes are represented as prefixed keys (e.g. @id) in the output JSON object.
Is XML conversion done server-side?
No. XML conversion is processed entirely in your browser using DOMParser.
Example input/output
Input: <user id="1"><name>Ada</name></user>
Output: {"user":{"@id":"1","name":"Ada"}}
How it works
This tool parses the XML with DOMParser and recursively converts the DOM tree to a JavaScript object. Element attributes become prefixed keys (e.g. @id), child elements become nested keys, and text content is preserved as string values. Processing runs in your browser.
Common use cases
- Convert XML API responses to JSON for use in modern web applications
