What This XML to JSON Tool Offers
This free converter turns XML into JSON in your browser. Paste or upload XML and get a JSON object: the root element becomes the top-level key, child elements become nested keys, and repeated sibling elements become arrays. Choose pretty print with 2 or 4 space indent for readable output. Invalid XML shows the parser error, line number when available, and a snippet so you can fix the markup. Download or copy the JSON; a link to JSON to XML is shown when conversion fails. All processing is client-side.
- Element-to-key mapping: Each XML element becomes a JSON key; its content (text or nested elements) becomes the value. Repeated same-tag siblings become an array.
- Pretty print: Format the output with 2 or 4 space indent, or output a single line. Indent option is available when pretty print is on.
- Error details: Invalid or malformed XML shows the parser message and, when provided by the browser, the line number and a snippet of the XML around the error.
- Paste or upload: Paste from clipboard or upload an .xml file (including drag-and-drop). Clear button resets input and output.

Why Convert XML to JSON?
Many modern APIs and tools use JSON instead of XML. Converting XML to JSON lets you reuse legacy or SOAP-style data in JSON-based apps, configs, or APIs. This tool uses a simple, predictable mapping: one root key, nested objects for child elements, and arrays for repeated tags. All conversion runs in your browser so your data stays private.
Options at a Glance
- Pretty print: When on, output is indented (2 or 4 spaces). When off, output is a single line.
- Indent: Only when pretty print is on: choose 2 spaces or 4 spaces per level.
- Repeated elements: Same tag name repeated as siblings becomes a JSON array; a single sibling stays as a single value.
- Download / Copy: Export the JSON file or copy to clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my XML data secure?
Yes. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.
How are repeated XML elements handled?
When the same tag appears multiple times as siblings, they become a JSON array. A single occurrence stays as a single value.
What if my XML is invalid?
You see the parser error message and, when the browser provides it, the line number. A snippet of the XML around the error is shown so you can fix it. A link to JSON to XML is available for the reverse conversion.
Can I convert XML from a file?
Yes. Use the file picker or drag-and-drop an .xml file onto the input area. The file is read in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
