XML Parsing

Our parser handles attributes (prefixed with @_), namespaces, and deeply nested tags. It converts XML into a clean, hierarchical JSON object.

Clean JSON

The output is automatically formatted with a 2-space indentation for immediate inspection.

Real-time Processing

All processing happens locally in your browser. Large files are handled in memory and never uploaded to any server.

XML to JSON — No Uploads Required

Modernize your data by converting legacy XML into easy-to-use JSON. Our converter intelligently handles XML attributes, namespaces, CDATA sections, and deeply nested elements, producing a clean JSON representation that is immediately consumable in JavaScript, Python, and other modern programming languages. You can control how attributes are mapped — as child objects, prefixed keys, or merged into parent elements. Auto-detection converts numeric and boolean strings to their proper types. This tool is essential for migrating legacy enterprise SOAP APIs to RESTful JSON services, parsing RSS feeds for modern front-end frameworks, or converting configuration files between formats.
