How do I convert XML to JSON?

Paste your XML document and click Convert. The tool parses all elements, attributes, and text content into a structured JSON object. Attributes are prefixed with @ to distinguish them from child elements.

How are XML attributes handled in JSON?

XML attributes are converted to JSON properties with an @ prefix. For example, becomes {"book":{"@id":"1"}}. This convention keeps attributes clearly separated from child elements.

Can I convert large XML files?

The tool runs in your browser, so it handles files up to several megabytes comfortably. For very large XML files (100MB+), consider using a server-side tool or streaming parser.

Does the converter preserve CDATA sections?

Yes. CDATA content is extracted as plain text values in the JSON output, preserving the original content without the CDATA wrapper syntax.

Turn XML responses into modern JSON objects

When you have to integrate with a SOAP service, RSS feed, or legacy XML API, you don't want XML living in your codebase. Converting XML to JSON gives you a familiar object shape — attributes prefixed with @, elements as keys, and text content as values — that fits cleanly into JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or any modern stack.

Use the converter when you need to

Process a SOAP response in modern code

Convert the XML envelope to JSON and work with attributes and elements as plain object properties.

Parse RSS, Atom, or sitemap feeds

Aggregators and crawlers often need feed data as JSON for downstream processing — convert once and pipe forward.

Inspect XML structure quickly

Converting to JSON makes it easy to drop the document into a JSON viewer or query with JSONPath.

How to convert XML to JSON quickly

1
Paste the XML document into the editor.
2
Click Convert to produce JSON where attributes use the @ prefix and elements become keys.
3
Copy the JSON output or download it for use in your code.

Keep going

Convert JSON back to XML

Round-trip the data when responding to a SOAP or B2B partner.

Format the JSON output

Beautify the converted JSON for easier inspection.

Validate the converted JSON

Make sure the output parses cleanly before passing it to your code.

Explore the converted data

Use tree view to verify how attributes and nested elements were mapped.

Common XML-to-JSON workflows

Modernize a legacy integration

Wrap an XML API in a JSON adapter and gradually replace the legacy code without breaking consumers.

Aggregate RSS feeds for a dashboard

Convert each feed to JSON and merge them into a single uniform array.

Audit an XML response

Convert the document to JSON and walk it in a viewer instead of trying to read raw XML.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Füge dein XML-Dokument ein und klicke auf „Convert“. Das Tool parst Elemente, Attribute und Textinhalte in ein strukturiertes JSON-Objekt. Attribute werden mit @ prefixiert, um sie klar von Child-Elementen zu unterscheiden.

XML-Attribute werden zu JSON-Properties mit @-Prefix. Beispiel: <book id="1"> wird zu {"book":{"@id":"1"}}. Diese Konvention trennt Attribute sauber von Child-Elementen.

Das Tool läuft im Browser und kommt mit Dateien bis zu mehreren Megabytes in der Regel problemlos klar. Für sehr große XML-Dateien (100MB+) ist ein serverseitiges Tool oder ein Streaming-Parser meist die bessere Wahl.

Ja. CDATA-Inhalte werden als Plain-Text-Werte in die JSON-Ausgabe übernommen; der Inhalt bleibt erhalten, nur die CDATA-Wrapper-Syntax fällt weg.
