Free XML to JSON Converter Online – JSON to XML Tool | TrenTyx

trentyx@local:~/data-converters/xml-json-converter $ run xml-json-converter_

Convert between XML and JSON bi-directionally using native browser DOMParser. Preserves attributes (@attr), text nodes (#text), CDATA, and repeating elements. 100% browser-based.

💡 How XML Attributes & Text Content are converted to JSON ▼

• XML Attributes (e.g. <user id="123" role="admin">) convert to keys prefixed with @ (e.g. "@id": "123", "@role": "admin").

• Text Content mixed with attributes or child elements converts to "#text" (e.g. "#text": "Content").

• Repeating Elements with identical tag names (siblings) automatically become JSON arrays.

• XML Comments (<!-- ... -->) are skipped during conversion to JSON.

Why Convert Between XML and JSON?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) are widely used data interchange formats. While XML has historically powered legacy enterprise systems, SOAP web services, and RSS feeds, JSON has become the standard for modern RESTful APIs and front-end web development. Converting XML to JSON allows legacy data to be easily consumed by JavaScript applications, while JSON to XML conversion helps feed data back into legacy enterprise software.

Common Use Cases

  • Integrating legacy SOAP APIs — convert XML SOAP responses into JSON for use in modern JavaScript front-ends.
  • Parsing RSS/Atom feeds — turn XML feed data into JSON for easier processing in a web app.
  • Feeding data back to enterprise systems — convert JSON from a modern API into the XML format required by an older system.
  • Inspecting XML structure — view attributes, text nodes, and nested elements in a more readable JSON tree format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes represented in the converted JSON?

Attributes are prefixed with @ (e.g. @id), and text content of an element is placed under a #text key, so no information from the original XML is lost.

Does this tool preserve repeating XML elements as arrays?

Yes, when an XML element repeats under the same parent, it's automatically converted into a JSON array instead of overwriting duplicate keys.

Is CDATA content supported?

Yes, CDATA sections are correctly parsed and preserved during conversion in both directions.

Does this tool use a custom XML parser?

No, it uses the browser's native DOMParser API, ensuring standards-compliant parsing without needing an external library.
