About this converter

Still need XML? Plenty of systems do. SOAP APIs, legacy enterprise integrations, Android config files, and many government data feeds all require XML. This converter takes your JSON and outputs well-formed XML with proper element nesting. If your JSON has a single root key, that key becomes the root element. Otherwise it wraps everything in a <root> tag. The conversion runs locally in your browser.

The mapping is straightforward. JSON objects become XML elements, keys become tag names, and values become text content. Arrays produce repeated elements with the same tag. Something like {"users": [{"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Bob"}]} turns into two <users> elements. The output includes the XML declaration header and is properly indented for readability.

You run into this when you need to feed data into enterprise systems that only speak XML. Think SOAP web services in banking and healthcare, Android resource files, RSS or Atom feed generation, or B2B integrations with partners who standardized on XML years ago. Instead of hand-writing XML or messing with template strings, just structure your data as JSON and convert it here.

If you need the reverse, the XML to JSON converter goes the other direction. Need CSV instead? JSON to CSV handles that. For config file workflows, check out JSON to YAML.

JSON vs XML

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Common uses: APIs, web applications, and configuration files

ECMA-404 (JSON specification)

Extensible Markup Language (XML)

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language for encoding documents and data in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

Common uses: data interchange, configuration, and document markup

W3C XML specification

How to convert JSON to XML

  1. 1

    Prepare your JSON

    Make sure your JSON is valid and has a clear structure. Ideally a single root object. If you have a bare array, the converter wraps it in a root element automatically.

  2. 2

    Load the file or paste the JSON

    Drop your .json file onto the converter or paste the JSON directly. The parser runs in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server.

  3. 3

    Review the XML output

    Check the generated XML for proper nesting and element names. Arrays become repeated elements. Verify the output matches what your target system expects.

  4. 4

    Download the XML

    Save the output as a .xml file. The file includes the XML declaration header and is formatted with indentation for readability.
