XML to JSON

How to use XML to JSON

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

Common uses

• A frontend developer can turn a legacy order response into a JSON fixture for component tests.
• A data analyst can inspect repeated feed records with JSON tooling after checking the conversion mapping.

Example input

<person><name>Ada</name><age>36</age></person>

Example result

{
  "orders": {
    "order": {
      "@id": "17",
      "total": {
        "@currency": "USD",
        "#text": "24.50"
      }
    }
  }
}

Common mistakes

• Mixed text and child elements. Fix: inspect the output mapping because text may require a dedicated property.
• Repeated sibling nodes unexpectedly become arrays. Fix: code consumers for zero, one, and many records according to the agreed contract.
• Namespace prefixes are treated as part of names. Fix: preserve or normalize namespaces explicitly rather than dropping them blindly.

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.
