Use Cases
Processing responses from legacy XML APIs
Convert XML returned by a SOAP endpoint or an older system into JSON so a modern frontend framework or JSON toolchain can consume it.
Reading complex XML configuration
Turn a deeply nested XML configuration file into a JSON tree that makes the hierarchy much easier to follow.
Migrating configuration formats
Move a project's configuration from XML to JSON without rewriting the whole document by hand.
Debugging how XML is parsed
Check what data structure a block of XML actually produces when troubleshooting an integration.
FAQ
How are repeated tags with the same name converted?
Multiple sibling elements sharing a name are detected automatically and collected into a JSON array, so the repetition in the original document is preserved.
Why am I getting an XML parse error?
Usually because a tag is not closed properly, the document is not well-formed, or it contains illegal characters. Check the markup and try again; the error message points at the specific problem.
Are XML attributes converted as well?
The converter focuses on the element hierarchy and text content. How attributes are mapped depends on the parsing rules in use, so review the output and adjust it if your case needs a specific representation.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser and nothing you paste leaves your machine.
