Paste JSON and get well-formed XML with a declaration, indentation and proper escaping. Keys that start with @ become attributes; arrays become repeated elements.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter here is sent to a server.
JSON and XML do not line up exactly, so every converter has to choose conventions. JSON has arrays; XML only has elements that may repeat. XML has attributes and a single root element; JSON has neither. The conventions used here are the common ones, and they are reversible: the XML to JSON converter on this site reads the result back into the same structure.
Each key is an element name and its value the content. Names that are not valid in XML — with spaces, or starting with a digit — are adjusted with underscores.
"items": [a, b] turns into two <items> elements side by side, the way XML usually expresses a list.
@key becomes an attribute"@id": "A-1042" is written as id="A-1042" on the parent element. "#text" is the element's own text. The prefix can be changed.
If the JSON is an object with a single key, that key is the root. Otherwise the content is wrapped in the root name you choose.
The characters &, < and > in text are written as entities, and quotes inside attribute values as ", so the result is always well-formed. null and empty strings become self-closing elements such as <note/>. Numbers and booleans are written as text — XML has no types of its own; a schema (XSD) is what gives them one.
Use it when a modern service has to talk to an older one: a SOAP endpoint, an RSS or sitemap feed, a partner integration specified in XML, or a legacy import that only understands one format.
As repeated elements with the same name. An array under the key "item" becomes several item elements in a row. A top-level array is wrapped in the root element, with one element per entry.
Yes. Prefix the key with @ — for example "@id" — and it is written as an attribute of the parent element instead of a child element.
Characters that XML does not allow in a name are replaced with underscores, and a name that starts with a digit gets a leading underscore.
It is well-formed: one root, matched tags, escaped characters and an XML declaration. Whether it is valid for a particular schema depends on that schema.
