What This JSON to XML Tool Offers
This free converter turns JSON into well-formed XML in your browser. Paste or upload JSON, set the root element name and the tag used for array items, and choose pretty-print (indented) or single-line output. The result includes the XML declaration (UTF-8). Invalid JSON shows the error, position or line, and a snippet—plus links to the JSON Formatter and Validator to fix syntax. Download or copy the XML. All processing is client-side.
- Root element: Set the top-level XML tag name (e.g. root, data, response). Default is root. Invalid names fall back to root.
- Array item tag: JSON arrays become repeated XML elements. Choose the tag for each item (e.g. item, element, entry). Default is item.
- Pretty print: Option to output indented XML for readability or a single compact line. Special characters in values are escaped for valid XML.
- Error details: Invalid JSON shows the parser error, position or line, and a snippet. Links to Formatter and Validator help you fix and convert again.

Why Convert JSON to XML?
Some APIs, legacy systems, and tools expect XML instead of JSON. Converting lets you reuse JSON data in XML-based workflows, SOAP services, or configs. This tool uses a straightforward mapping: objects become nested elements, arrays become repeated elements with the tag you choose, and primitives become text content. All processing stays in your browser so your data stays private.
Options at a Glance
- Root element: The single top-level XML tag. Must be a valid XML name (letter or underscore, then letters, digits, . _ -).
- Array item tag: Tag name for each element in a JSON array. Same naming rules as root.
- Pretty print XML: When on, output is indented with two spaces per level; when off, output is one line.
- Download / Copy: Export the XML file or copy to clipboard. Declaration and encoding (UTF-8) are included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my JSON data secure?
Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.
What is the root element?
The root element is the single top-level XML tag that wraps the whole document. You can name it anything valid (e.g. root, data, response). Default is root.
What is the array item tag?
JSON arrays become repeated XML elements. You choose the tag name for each item (e.g. item, element, entry). Default is item.
What if my JSON is invalid?
You see the parser error, character position or line, and a snippet around the error. Links to the JSON Formatter and Validator help you fix syntax, then convert again.
