XML to JSON Converter – Convert XML to JSON Online



XML to JSON Converter

Our online XML to JSON converter tool allows users to convert an XML file into a JSON file without hassle. However, this process is not 100% accurate as the XML uses various item types that do not have similar JSON representations. Moreover, XML to JSON Converter is an easy and simple tool. Just Copy, Paste, and Convert.

Follow the below steps to convert an XML file to JSON:

  1. Go to A2Z Tools
  2. Click on XML to JSON Converter
  3. Now add the XML text and the JSON format will be generated
  4. Click on Copy to use the file

Limitations

XML features like attributes, namespaces, and mixed content don't have a single universal JSON equivalent, so different converters may represent these differently -- review the output structure to ensure it matches your needs, especially for complex XML.

Privacy & your data

Frequently asked questions

Attribute representation varies by converter convention -- review the output structure, as attributes are typically represented as special keys distinct from element content.
Does this handle XML namespaces?
Complex features like namespaces may be represented in tool-specific ways since there's no single universal XML-to-JSON mapping standard -- check the output for your specific XML structure.
Is my XML data sent to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser; your data is not sent to or stored on the A2Z Tools server.
Is this tool free to use?
