XML to JSON Converter

Q: How are numeric and boolean text nodes converted?

Simple leaf text values containing numbers (e.g. 42 ) or booleans ( true ) are automatically parsed into native JSON numbers and booleans.

Convert XML elements, tag attributes, and CDATA blocks into clean JSON online. Easily migrate legacy SOAP responses, RSS feeds, and XML files into modern JSON for web apps and APIs.

How to Convert XML to JSON Online

Translate complex XML elements and schemas into clean JSON in four simple steps:

Paste XML Document

Paste your XML markup, SOAP payload, RSS feed, or SVG code into the left editor pane, or click "Sample".

Select Attribute Style

Choose how tag attributes should be prefixed (@, _, or none) and set your preferred JSON indentation.

Execute Conversion

Click "Convert to JSON" to parse nodes via native browser XML DOM parsing and generate structured JSON.

Copy or Download

Copy the formatted JSON payload directly to your clipboard or download it as a ready-to-use .json document.

What is an XML to JSON Converter?

An XML to JSON Converter is a development utility that parses Extensible Markup Language (XML) trees and transforms them into lightweight JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) structures.

XML was historically the dominant data exchange format for enterprise software, SOAP web services, RSS feeds, and configuration files. However, modern web frameworks (React, Vue, Node.js), mobile apps (Swift, Kotlin), and serverless architectures communicate predominantly in JSON.

CodeCrate's browser-based XML to JSON Converter automatically handles XML element nesting, groups repeating tags into arrays, maps attributes clearly, and coerces numeric and boolean strings into native JSON primitive types.

XML to JSON Conversion Example

See how tagged XML hierarchies and attributes map directly to JSON keys:

Input: XML Document XML Input

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bookstore>
  <book category="web" id="101">
    <title lang="en">Learning XML</title>
    <author>Erik T. Ray</author>
    <year>2003</year>
    <price>39.95</price>
  </book>
</bookstore>

Output: Structured JSON Object JSON Output

{
  "bookstore": {
    "book": {
      "@category": "web",
      "@id": "101",
      "title": {
        "@lang": "en",
        "#text": "Learning XML"
      },
      "author": "Erik T. Ray",
      "year": 2003,
      "price": 39.95
    }
  }
}

Key Features of CodeCrate XML to JSON Converter

Built for rapid legacy modernization and robust API data integration:

Repeating Tag Array Grouping

Automatically detects sibling elements with the same tag name and groups them into clean JSON arrays.

Native Browser DOMParser

Uses your browser's built-in XML parsing engine to deliver sub-millisecond execution with precise XML syntax validation.

Zero Data Transmission

All conversions occur locally in memory. Proprietary enterprise documents and customer data never travel over the internet.

Common Developer Use Cases

Where developers convert XML feeds into modern JSON payloads:

1. SOAP to REST API Modernization

Migrate legacy SOAP XML web service responses into clean JSON payloads for modern React, Vue, and mobile frontends.

2. RSS & Atom Feed Ingestion

Convert syndicated RSS and Atom news feeds into structured JSON objects for easy processing in Node.js and Python microservices.

3. Financial & Telecom Standards

Parse banking (ISO 20022), insurance (ACORD), and telecom XML transaction records into JSON for database storage.

4. SVG Analysis & Vector Data

Extract vector coordinates, path data, and styles from SVG XML files into JSON objects for dynamic animation engines.

Data Format Considerations: XML vs JSON

Keep these structural considerations in mind when converting XML into JSON:

Attributes vs Elements: XML allows both element tags and attributes. Attributes are grouped with the prefix of your choice (such as @id) to prevent collisions with child elements.
Mixed Content & Text Nodes: Elements that contain both attributes and text content use the #text property to preserve text values faithfully.
Single vs Multiple Items: When an XML tag only appears once, it becomes an object; when repeated, it becomes an array.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions regarding XML elements, attributes, and schemas.

How does the converter handle XML tag attributes?

XML attributes are mapped as properties prefixed with '@' (e.g. '@id': '101') by default, allowing you to easily distinguish tag attributes from nested child elements.

What happens when multiple child tags have the same element name?

When sibling XML tags share the same name (such as multiple or tags), the converter automatically groups them into a clean JSON array.

Does this tool support CDATA sections?

Yes. Characters encapsulated inside blocks are properly unescaped and treated as text property values in the resulting JSON output.

Is my XML data uploaded to any remote server?

No. All XML parsing is executed natively in your browser using DOMParser. No data is sent over the network or saved anywhere.

How are numeric and boolean text nodes converted?

Simple leaf text values containing numbers (e.g. 42) or booleans (true) are automatically parsed into native JSON numbers and booleans.

Can I download the resulting JSON file?

Yes. You can copy the generated JSON directly to your clipboard or download it as a .json file with a single click.
