Convert XML to JSON instantly

XML served the web well for two decades, but modern APIs, JavaScript frameworks, and NoSQL databases all speak JSON. This converter parses your XML using the browser's built-in DOMParser and maps elements to JSON properties. Repeated child elements with the same tag automatically become arrays. The conversion is local. Your XML never leaves your browser, which is important if you are converting config files with credentials or proprietary data feeds.

The parser handles standard XML structures well. Simple key-value elements become JSON properties, nested elements become nested objects, and sibling elements that share a tag name are grouped into arrays. CDATA sections are treated as plain text. The main limitation is XML attributes, which the current version does not extract. If your XML relies heavily on attributes for data (common in some SOAP responses), the output may be incomplete.

You typically need this when migrating from an older system that speaks XML to a modern stack that expects JSON. Pulling data from a SOAP API and feeding it into a React frontend. Parsing an RSS feed into a JavaScript object. Converting Android resource files into a format your Node.js tooling can work with. Instead of writing a custom parser with xml2js or xmldom, just drop the file here.

Going the other way? JSON to XML does the reverse. If you need tabular output, try XML to CSV. For configuration workflows, XML to YAML can be handy too.
