XML to JSON FAQs
Common questions about converting XML to JSON
An XML to JSON converter is a tool that transforms XML (eXtensible Markup Language) data into JSON format. XML is widely used in legacy systems, SOAP web services, enterprise applications, RSS feeds, and traditional APIs, while JSON is the modern standard for RESTful APIs, JavaScript applications, and web services. Our XML to JSON converter performs this transformation instantly in your browser, making it perfect for integrating legacy XML APIs with modern web applications, converting SOAP responses to JSON for JavaScript consumption, or modernizing XML-based data feeds for cloud-native architectures and microservices that expect JSON format.
The XML to JSON converter preserves XML attributes using a special naming convention to distinguish them from child elements. Attributes are converted to JSON properties with an @ prefix (e.g., an XML attribute id="123" becomes "@id": "123" in JSON). This prefix-based approach ensures attribute data is preserved while keeping it clearly separated from element content and child nodes. The converter handles multiple attributes per element, mixed content (elements with both attributes and text), and nested structures correctly. This standardized mapping allows you to reliably process the converted JSON and distinguish between XML attributes and child elements in your application logic.
No. All XML to JSON conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your XML data never leaves your device or gets uploaded to any server. This privacy-first architecture ensures complete data security and GDPR compliance, making it safe to convert sensitive data like SOAP API responses with customer information, enterprise XML configs with credentials, RSS feeds with proprietary content, or any XML data containing confidential business information. The converter works offline once the page is loaded, allowing you to process private XML to JSON conversions with full confidence in data privacy and security.
XML to JSON conversion is essential when modernizing legacy systems, integrating SOAP services with RESTful APIs, or consuming XML data in JavaScript applications. While many enterprise systems and legacy APIs still output XML, modern web development has standardized on JSON for its simplicity, native JavaScript support, and smaller payload sizes. Convert XML to JSON when you need to: consume SOAP web service responses in React/Vue/Angular applications, integrate legacy XML APIs with modern microservices, process RSS/Atom feeds with JavaScript, store XML data in NoSQL databases like MongoDB, or build web dashboards that consume enterprise XML data sources.
Absolutely! The XML to JSON converter generates standard JSON that works seamlessly with JavaScript, Node.js, React, Vue.js, Angular, and all modern web frameworks and libraries. The output is valid JSON that can be parsed with JSON.parse(), consumed by fetch() and axios HTTP clients, manipulated with lodash or other utility libraries, stored in MongoDB or other JSON-native databases, and processed with any JSON-compatible tool. This makes it perfect for converting SOAP API responses into React component state, transforming XML RSS feeds for Next.js applications, or processing enterprise XML data with JavaScript validation and transformation pipelines.
The XML to JSON converter intelligently handles complex XML structures including deeply nested elements, CDATA sections, and mixed content. Nested XML elements are converted to nested JSON objects, preserving the hierarchical structure. XML arrays (repeated elements with the same name) are converted to JSON arrays. CDATA sections are unwrapped and their text content is extracted as regular string values in JSON. Empty XML elements become empty strings or null values depending on configuration. The converter maintains document structure while creating clean, navigable JSON that accurately represents the original XML hierarchy and data relationships for easy programmatic access.
