XML to JSON Converter

How the conversion works

There is no single standard for mapping XML to JSON, so this tool uses the common convention: each element becomes a key; attributes become keys with a prefix (@id); text that sits beside child elements is stored under a text key (#text); elements with only text become plain values; and elements that repeat under the same parent become an array. Tick Always use arrays if your code needs a consistent shape even when an element appears only once.

The parser is strict: it reports the line and column of the first problem, such as a missing closing tag. Comments, processing instructions and the DOCTYPE are ignored; CDATA sections are kept as text. The opposite direction is available in the JSON to XML converter, and to check a document use the XML formatter & validator.
