XML to JSON Converter

About this tool

Convert an XML document into equivalent JSON, mapping elements to keys and nested tags to nested objects.

Example

Input: <user><id>1</id></user>

Output: {"user":{"id":"1"}}

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is processed locally and never uploaded to a server.

How to use this tool

1. Paste your XML into the input box.
2. Click the XML to JSON convert button.
3. Review the generated JSON in the output panel.
4. Copy the result and use it in your app or tests.

Step by step, what happens

1. The tool reads your XML document and parses each element, attribute, and text node.
2. It turns nested XML tags into nested JSON objects so the structure stays readable.
3. Repeated XML elements are grouped into JSON arrays when needed.
4. The converted JSON is shown instantly in the browser so you can inspect or copy it.

Worked example

If you paste a small user profile XML document, the tool will convert the nested fields into a JSON object you can use directly.

Input: <user><name>Ana</name><role>admin</role></user>

1. The tool sees the root user element and makes it the top-level JSON key.
2. It converts the name and role child elements into properties on that object.
3. The text inside each tag becomes the string value for that property.

Tips and common mistakes

• Make sure your XML is well formed, with every opening tag matched by a closing tag.
• If your XML has repeated sibling elements, expect the JSON output to use arrays for those items.
• Attributes and text content may be represented differently from plain child elements, so check the output shape carefully.
• If the result is not what you expect, simplify the XML first and test one nested section at a time.
