JSON to XML Converter
Convert JSON objects and arrays into well-formed XML with configurable root and array element names, formatting, validation, and local copy controls.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Conversion happens entirely in your browser. JSON properties become elements, arrays become repeated elements, and null becomes an empty element.
How JSON to XML conversion works
- Paste or edit JSON and choose valid names for the XML root and top-level array items.
- The converter parses the JSON, validates every element name, and escapes XML-sensitive text.
- Object properties become nested elements, arrays become repeated elements, and primitive values become text nodes.
- Review the formatted XML and copy it for use in another application.
For example, {"active": true} inside a root named root becomes <root><active>true</active></root>.
FAQ
How are JSON arrays represented in XML?
An array stored under a property becomes repeated elements with that property name. A top-level array is wrapped by your chosen root name and uses the configurable item element name.
What happens to null, booleans, and numbers?
Null becomes an empty element. Boolean and numeric values become escaped text inside their elements, preserving their readable JSON representation.
Can every JSON property name be an XML element?
No. XML element names have stricter rules. This converter reports a clear error when a property cannot be used as an element name instead of silently changing your data.
Does the converter create XML attributes?
No. The conversion uses a predictable element-only mapping because JSON does not distinguish attributes from child elements. You can edit the copied XML if your target schema requires attributes.
Is the JSON sent to a server?
No. Parsing, validation, conversion, and formatting run locally in your browser.
