Tool Introduction

Parse XML into JSON with attribute preservation (@attr) and text nodes (#text). Great for inspecting SOAP responses, RSS feeds, sitemaps, and legacy XML APIs.

Tool Overview

The parser reads elements, attributes, text content, and CDATA sections, ignoring XML declarations and comments. Repeated siblings with the same tag name are grouped into a JSON array. Attributes are prefixed with @ and mixed text with #text, so the structure round-trips sensibly. Turn attribute preservation off if you only care about the text content.

Use Cases

Inspect a SOAP response inline without a debugger
Convert an RSS feed into JSON for your news reader
Migrate legacy XML fixtures to JSON-based tests
Pipe an XML sitemap into a URL-auditing script

Input/Output Examples

Input Intent

<book><title>Dune</title><author>Frank Herbert</author><year>1965</year></book>

Output Intent

{
  "book": {
    "title": "Dune",
    "author": "Frank Herbert",
    "year": "1965"
  }
}

Attributes are preserved with an @ prefix so the tree round-trips.

Input Intent

<book id="42" isbn="0441013597"><title>Dune</title></book>

Output Intent

{
  "book": {
    "@id": "42",
    "@isbn": "0441013597",
    "title": "Dune"
  }
}

Repeated sibling elements collapse into a JSON array.

Input Intent

<rss version="2.0"><channel><item><title>Hello</title></item><item><title>World</title></item></channel></rss>

Output Intent

{
  "rss": {
    "@version": "2.0",
    "channel": {
      "item": [
        { "title": "Hello" },
        { "title": "World" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ

Is this XML to JSON converter free?+

Yes. Convert as many XML documents as you like — client-side, no sign-up, no server upload.

What are @ and # prefixes in the output?+

@name holds an attribute value and #text holds text content that sits alongside child elements. This lets the JSON round-trip back to XML without losing information.

What XML features are supported?+

Elements, attributes, text, CDATA, and the standard entities (<, >, &, ", ', numeric refs). DOCTYPE, namespaces, and processing instructions beyond <?xml?> are passed through or ignored.

How are repeated tags handled?+

Siblings with the same name collapse into a JSON array. A single tag stays as an object — watch for this when consuming the output programmatically.

Can it parse SOAP, RSS, or sitemap XML?+

Yes. These formats use standard elements and attributes, which the parser handles. Turn attribute preservation on to keep @version, @xmlns, and similar metadata.
