XML to JSON Converter

How to use the XML to JSON Converter

1. 1

   Paste XML

   Paste your XML into the left editor, or click Load sample.

2. 2

   Choose how attributes look

   Attributes become keys with a prefix such as @_id, so they don't clash with child elements.

3. 3

   Set value types

   Keep 'Convert numbers & booleans' on to turn 42 and true into real JSON types.

4. 4

   Copy or download

   Copy the JSON or download it as a .json file.

Examples

<book id="1">
  <title>XML Guide</title>
  <tag>xml</tag>
  <tag>json</tag>
</book>

{
  "book": {
    "title": "XML Guide",
    "tag": ["xml", "json"],
    "@_id": 1
  }
}

Common errors and how to fix them

A single item isn't an array

XML doesn't say whether an element can repeat, so one <tag> becomes a value and two or more become an array. Check for both cases in your code.

Leading zeros disappeared

Values like 007 were converted to numbers. Untick 'Convert numbers & booleans' to keep every value as text.
