XML to JSON Converter - Convert XML to JSON Online

XML → JSON

About the XML → JSON playground

The XML → JSON tool parses XML markup and produces an equivalent JSON object, turning elements into keys, nested elements into nested objects, and repeated sibling elements into arrays. Attributes and text content are mapped using consistent conventions. This is useful when consuming XML feeds, SOAP responses, or legacy data in modern JavaScript applications that work most naturally with JSON.

XML is a verbose, tag-based markup language with elements, attributes, namespaces, and a single root, while JSON is a concise format built from objects, arrays, and primitive values. Because XML carries information that JSON lacks a direct slot for — attributes versus child text, for example — converters adopt conventions such as prefixing attribute keys, so the resulting JSON faithfully reflects the original document's structure.

How it works

Write

The main file is the entry point for each run.

Give it input

Use the Input panel to pipe standard input to your program when it needs data.

Run

Run sends your code to a fresh hosted runtime and streams the result into the output panel.
