What XML to JSON Converter does
XML to JSON Converter parses the document with the browser's XML parser. The root element becomes the top-level key, attributes move under @attributes, direct text can appear under #text, and repeated sibling names become arrays.
Elements containing only text and no attributes become JSON strings. The mapping retains common structure but cannot preserve every XML concept, including namespace semantics, comments, processing instructions, exact mixed-content order, or schema-derived types.
How to use XML to JSON Converter
- Paste one complete well-formed XML document without DOCTYPE or ENTITY declarations.
- Select Convert to JSON and correct any XML parser error.
- Inspect attributes, repeated siblings, direct text, and the root wrapper in the result.
- Download the JSON and validate its mapping against the destination's required contract.
Important details
Mapping conventions
Attributes are grouped in an @attributes object. Direct text alongside children uses #text, and repeated child tag names become arrays while a single occurrence remains one value.
Defensive parser limits
DOCTYPE and ENTITY declarations are rejected before parsing, and recursive element conversion stops beyond 100 levels. These controls reduce risky or pathological input but do not make arbitrary XML trustworthy.
Practical uses
- Create a draft JSON view of a simple XML response.
- Inspect repeated elements and attributes during integration debugging.
- Prepare a fixture before implementing a destination-specific mapping.
Privacy and limitations
XML parsing and JSON serialization happen in the browser, and neither input nor output is uploaded to PagesTools. The parsed document remains in page memory during the session.
No universal lossless XML-to-JSON mapping exists. Namespace identity, comments, CDATA boundaries, processing instructions, child/text interleaving, schemas, numeric typing, and element order conventions may be simplified or lost.
