Online Tool Store
XML to JSON Converter
Convert XML into JSON live as you type, using the browser's native XML parser — attributes, repeated elements, and nested structure all handled. Runs entirely in your browser.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Nothing is uploaded — parsing runs entirely in your browser using the native DOMParser.
How it works
- Paste your XML on the left.
- See the equivalent JSON structure on the right, updated as you type.
- Copy the result, or fix any reported parse error using its exact message.
FAQ
How are XML attributes represented in the JSON?
Each attribute becomes a key prefixed with "@" (e.g. id="42" becomes "@id": "42"), a common convention that keeps attributes visually distinct from child elements in the output.
What happens when an element repeats, like multiple <tag> elements?
Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are collected into a JSON array, in the order they appear — so three <tag> elements become an array of three values under "tag".
Does it handle XML namespaces?
Tag names are kept as-is (including any namespace prefix, e.g. "ns:item"), but namespace URIs themselves aren't resolved separately — for most conversion needs, keeping the prefixed tag name intact is sufficient.
Is my XML uploaded anywhere?
No — parsing uses the browser's built-in DOMParser, entirely locally. No external library is even loaded, and nothing is sent anywhere.
How we compare
| Feature | Online Tool Store | Online XML/JSON converters | Writing a script |
|---|---|---|---|
| No file upload — runs in your browser | ✓ | Many send the XML to a server | ✓ |
| No setup or dependencies | ✓ | ✓ | Requires a runtime + library |
| No ads | ✓ | Ad-supported | ✓ |
For a one-off conversion, this beats writing a script or trusting a random converter with an XML file that might contain sensitive data.
