How to convert XML to JSON

  1. Choose a direction (XML to JSON or JSON to XML).
  2. Paste your XML or JSON.
  3. Select Convert.
  4. Copy the result.

How this works

Your browser parses the input using its own built-in XML parser or JSON.parse, then maps the structure to the other format directly — no file is uploaded, and no server-side processing is involved.

Common use cases

  • Convert an XML API response into JSON for easier processing
  • Convert JSON config into XML for a legacy system
  • Quickly inspect XML data in a more readable JSON structure

Frequently asked questions

Is this XML to JSON converter free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.

How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Attributes are placed under an "@attributes" key on the corresponding object, and text content alongside child elements uses a "#text" key — a common, widely-used convention.

Does this handle deeply nested XML/JSON?

Yes — the conversion is recursive and handles arbitrarily nested structures.
