XML to JSON · Convert XML Documents to JSON 2026
Paste XML code or upload an XML file, and convert it to clean JSON. Handles attributes, nested elements, and arrays. Free online tool, no signup.
How it works: Paste XML → click Convert → we parse using DOMParser and recursively convert to JSON. Attributes become @attributes, text becomes #text.
🎯 Why Convert XML to JSON?
JSON is lighter and easier to work with in JavaScript environments. Converting XML to JSON enables seamless integration with modern APIs, NoSQL databases, and front-end frameworks. Our tool uses the browser's DOMParser to safely parse XML, then recursively traverses the DOM to produce a clean JSON structure. Attributes are stored under `@attributes`, and text content under `#text`. The output is formatted for readability. Perfect for migrating legacy data or working with web services.
📘 How to Use
- Paste XML code or upload an XML file.
- Click "Convert to JSON".
- Copy or download the resulting JSON.
- Load sample XML to see an example.

⚙️ How It Works
We use DOMParser to parse XML. A recursive function converts each node into a JavaScript object. If a node has attributes, they are added under `@attributes`. If it has child elements, they become nested objects. Multiple children with same tag become arrays. Text content is stored as `#text`.
❓ FAQ
1. Does it support namespaces?
Yes, but namespaces are ignored in keys.
2. Can I convert huge XML files?
Browser memory limits apply; files under 10MB work well.
