How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Attributes are represented as properties of the element's JSON object, typically prefixed with @ to distinguish them from child elements.

How are repeated XML elements handled?

When the same element tag appears multiple times at the same level, the converter groups them into a JSON array.

What happens to XML comments and processing instructions?

XML comments and processing instructions are stripped from the output — only element structure, attributes, and text content are preserved.

Can I convert SOAP XML responses?

Yes. SOAP XML responses are valid XML and convert normally. The SOAP envelope and body elements become JSON object keys, and the payload structure is preserved.

Does the converter handle very large XML files?

The converter processes XML in your browser using the DOMParser API, so very large files (50MB+) may be slow. For production-scale XML processing, consider a server-side solution.

XML to JSON Converter

Converts XML documents into a JSON representation, preserving element hierarchy, attributes, and text content. Handles nested elements, repeated child elements (converted to arrays), and XML namespaces. Useful for working with legacy XML APIs or data sources in modern JavaScript applications.

Runs entirely in your browser — your input is never uploaded, stored, or logged.

Modernise XML data for use with JSON-based APIs and tools without writing a custom parser. To go the other way, try the JSON to XML converter.

Examples

Simple XML

Input

<person><name>Alice</name><age>30</age></person>

Output

{"person":{"name":"Alice","age":"30"}}
