Key Features

  • Attributes & Text

    Attributes map to "@" keys and text content maps to strings or "#text".

  • Arrays for Repeats

    Repeated sibling elements collapse into clean JSON arrays automatically.

  • Browser-Local

    Convert sensitive XML without uploading it to any server.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Paste XML

    Copy from your editor, API responses, or config files.

  2. 2

    Convert instantly

    The JSON output updates as soon as you paste valid XML.

  3. 3

    Copy or download

    Export the JSON to your clipboard or a .json file.

Use Cases

  • Consuming legacy XML feeds in modern code

    Convert an RSS, SOAP, or legacy XML feed into JSON so it can be consumed directly by JavaScript or a modern API client.

  • Migrating data from XML-based systems

    Turn exported XML records from an older platform into JSON for import into a database or newer application.

  • Prototyping against XML-based services

    Inspect the JSON equivalent of an XML API response while building or testing an integration against that service.

  • Debugging attribute-heavy XML documents

    Convert XML with many attributes into JSON to more easily spot which "@" fields and nested elements a document contains.

Examples

Nested XML with attributes

A document with attributes and repeated elements becomes structured JSON.

<book id="1"><title>XML Basics</title></book>
{ "book": { "@id": "1", "title": "XML Basics" } }

Benefits

  • Turn XML API responses into JSON your code can consume
  • Inspect attributes and repeated elements at a glance
  • No account or upload required

Best Practices

  • Validate or format XML first if you are unsure it is well-formed.
  • Remember that repeated tags become arrays when mapping to your data model.

Common Mistakes

  • Expecting numeric text to become JSON numbers - values are kept as strings.
  • Relying on the ordering of mixed text and child elements.

Privacy Notice

The XML parser runs using your browser’s built-in DOM APIs, so feed contents and attribute values are converted on-device and never transmitted to a ToolMint server.

About This Tool

What is this tool?

An XML to JSON converter parses XML markup and produces an equivalent JSON object with attributes, nested elements, and text.

Why use it?

JSON is easier to work with in JavaScript and most modern APIs, so converting XML speeds up integration and debugging.

Limitations

Supports a practical XML subset: elements, attributes (as "@" keys), nested and repeated elements (arrays), text ("#text"), comments, and CDATA. The prolog and DOCTYPE are ignored, namespaces stay as literal tag names, and numeric or boolean text is kept as strings.
