XML to JSON Converter – Convert XML Online (Free Tool)
Free online XML to JSON Converter tool to convert XML data to JSON format. Parse XML structures to JSON objects instantly. All conversion happens locally in your browser.
Example Output
XML structure mirrored as JSON. Numbers are quoted because XML has no native type.
{ "user": { "name": "Alice", "age": "30" } }What is XML to JSON Converter?
XML to JSON parses an XML document into an equivalent JSON object structure. Handy when wrapping legacy SOAP services, parsing RSS/Atom feeds, or consuming XML configuration files in a JavaScript codebase. Output preserves nesting and repeated tags become arrays.
Why use this tool?
- Stable behavior across visits — no surprise version drift
- Your data stays private — all processing happens locally in the browser
- No telemetry, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts
- Handles UTF-8 BOM, mixed delimiters, and other edge cases that break simpler converters
- Round-trips cleanly — convert there and back without losing precision or fidelity
How to use
- Paste XML in the input
- Click Convert — equivalent JSON appears below
- Repeated tags become arrays automatically
- Use it when modernising legacy XML responses for a JS-first stack
Examples
Parse an RSS feed
Most RSS readers expose XML — convert to JSON to filter items with familiar array operations like .filter() and .map().
Migrate an XML config
Move a legacy config.xml to config.json without manual rewriting; tweak the JSON in your editor afterwards.
Common use cases
- Modernising legacy SOAP/XML APIs in a JS codebase
- Parsing RSS/Atom/OPML feeds
- One-off conversion of XML config files to JSON
- Quick inspection of XML data structure
Troubleshooting
- Numbers and booleans come out as strings.
- XML has no type system — every leaf value is text. If you need real types, post-process the JSON with a schema mapper or selective JSON.parse calls.
- Attributes (e.g. <node id="1">) are missing or merged.
- The default mapping nests attributes under a special key (often _attributes or @). Check the output — if the format doesn't match your downstream consumer, restructure with a small transformer.
