What is the XML to JSON Converter?
The XML to JSON Converter is a free online developer tool that converts structured data in XML format into JSON objects and arrays. XML tags become JSON fields, repeated nodes become arrays and XML attributes become special keys.
XML and JSON are two common data formats used to exchange data between systems. SOAP services, legacy enterprise applications, ERP systems, e-invoicing solutions and configuration files mostly use XML, while REST APIs, web applications and mobile applications generally use JSON.
Converting XML data to JSON format makes it easier to integrate legacy systems with modern APIs, to process data in frontend applications and to carry XML-based service responses over into JavaScript objects.
Before conversion, the XML document is validated for syntax. If an unclosed tag, incorrect nesting, multiple root elements or incorrect attribute usage is detected, the conversion is not performed.
How do you convert XML to JSON?
Follow the steps below to convert your XML data to JSON format.
Add the XML data
Paste the XML code into the input field on the left.
Choose the options
Adjust the root element and data type detection options according to your needs.
Convert
Generate the result by clicking the Convert to JSON button.
Use the result
Copy the JSON output to the clipboard or download it as a .json file.
XML to JSON conversion example
XML input
<company active="true">
<name>Tekno Danışman</name>
<services>
<service>Özel Yazılım</service>
<service>Danışmanlık</service>
</services>
</company>JSON output
{
"company": {
"@active": true,
"name": "Tekno Danışman",
"services": {
"service": [
"Özel Yazılım",
"Danışmanlık"
]
}
}
}In this example, the active attribute is converted to the @active field, and the repeated service nodes are converted to a JSON array.
How are XML fields converted to JSON?
Because the XML and JSON data models are not the same, the following mapping rules are used during conversion.
XML elements
Tag names are used as field names in the JSON object.
Text values
Elements containing only text are converted directly to a JSON value.
Attributes
XML attributes are converted to JSON fields with the @ prefix.
Repeated nodes
Sibling elements with the same name are automatically converted to a JSON array.
Mixed content
Text that appears together with child elements is preserved in the #text field.
Data types
If the option is enabled, number, boolean and null texts are converted to the appropriate JSON types.
Where is XML to JSON conversion used?
It can be used in many scenarios where data needs to be exchanged between XML-based systems and modern applications that use JSON.
SOAP and REST integration
Makes XML responses received from SOAP services usable in REST-based systems.
Frontend applications
Makes it easier to process XML data in JavaScript and modern frontend frameworks.
ERP and CRM integrations
Transfers XML-based enterprise system data to applications that use JSON.
E-invoice data
Makes it easier to analyze UBL and similar XML-based electronic documents.
