How it works
The parser walks DOM nodes, mapping elements to keys and text nodes to values, optionally collecting attributes separately.
How to use XML to JSON
- Paste well-formed XML including the root element.
- Review JSON for attribute naming (@attributes keys common).
- Copy output into Postman or your app.
- Adjust options for array wrapping of repeated tags if available.

RSS sample
Parse two <item> nodes to JSON to prototype a reader UI quickly.
When to use XML to JSON
Modern front ends prefer JSON while enterprise systems emit XML. One-step parsing saves writing bespoke transformers during spikes.
Common use cases
- Inspect RSS items as JSON for a news ticker.
- Prototype clients against SOAP sample envelopes.
- Convert config XML from older .NET apps.
- Teach students the mapping between tree models.
Inputs and outputs
- XML 1.0 text
- JSON object output

Frequently asked questions
- Are namespaces preserved?
- Some converters strip prefixes; verify critical QName handling before production use.
- Does it validate XSD?
- No schema validation — only structural parsing.
- Can I go back to XML?
- Use a dedicated JSON-to-XML tool; round-trip may not be identical.
