JSON to XML

How to use JSON to XML

1. Paste valid source-format data into JSON to XML.
2. Confirm the source structure matches the expected input format.
3. Run JSON to XML to generate the target format.
4. Inspect nested values and escaping before copying the converted result.

Common uses

• An integration developer can turn a REST fixture into a starting XML payload for a legacy billing sandbox.
• A QA engineer can generate readable XML test data from a known JSON object before validating the target schema.

Example input

{"person":{"name":"Ada","age":36}}

Example result

<root>
  <invoice>
    <number>INV-104</number>
    <lines>
      <sku>PEN</sku>
      <qty>3</qty>
    </lines>
  </invoice>
</root>

Common mistakes

• JSON keys that are invalid XML element names. Fix: rename or map keys before conversion.
• Assuming arrays have one universal XML representation. Fix: confirm the repeated-element convention expected by the receiver.
• Expecting numbers, booleans, and null to retain JSON types automatically. Fix: define types in a schema or explicit attributes.

Tips for reliable results

• Check one representative nested record before converting a large input.
• Review arrays, attributes, null values, dates, and leading zeros because formats represent these values differently.
• Validate the generated output with a target-format validator before importing it into another system.
