Convert XML to JSON (and JSON back to XML), plus format/minify and escape/unescape XML. Everything runs locally in your browser for speed and privacy.

FAQ

Does this online XML converter upload my data?

No—conversion runs locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Attributes use an @ prefix (example: "@id"), and element text uses #text.

How does the converter handle repeated XML elements?

Repeated sibling tags with the same name become a JSON array (e.g., <a/><a/> → "a": [ ... ]).

Why does JSON→XML need a root element name sometimes?

XML must have exactly one root element. If your JSON doesn’t have a single top-level key, provide a root name (default is root).

Is the XML output guaranteed to match every XML schema?

No—this is a general-purpose converter for common structures. For schema-specific rules, validate against your XSD separately.

What’s the difference between Format XML and Minify XML?

Format adds indentation and line breaks for readability; Minify removes extra whitespace between tags to reduce size.

Can this tool validate XML?

It checks well-formed XML during parsing and shows a parse error if invalid, but it doesn’t validate against XSD/DTD.
