How to use it
- Paste your JSON into the input box, upload a .json file, or drop a file onto the box.
- The XML appears as you type. Change the indentation if you need to.
- Copy the result or download it as a .xml file.
Good to know
- A list is written as <item> elements inside a <root> element. Characters that are not allowed in XML tag names are replaced with underscores.
About the formats
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) stores data as nested objects and arrays. It is the standard format for web APIs and the config files of most JavaScript projects.
XML
XML wraps data in named tags, with optional attributes. It is still common in SOAP web services, RSS feeds, Office files and enterprise systems.
Questions
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device, and the tool keeps working if you lose your connection after the page has loaded.
- How big a file can I convert?
- Up to 25 MB per file. Very large files depend on your device’s memory, so if the page slows down, split the file into parts.
- Can I convert XML back to JSON?
- Yes. Use the XML to JSON converter, or press the swap button above the editor.
