How do I convert XML to JSON?

Paste your XML document into the left editor. GoodParse parses the XML and maps elements to JSON keys, attributes to @attr properties, and text content to values. The resulting JSON is pretty-printed and ready to use.

How are XML attributes handled in JSON?

XML attributes are converted into JSON properties prefixed with '@'. For example, becomes { '@id': '1' } in JSON. This preserves all data from the original XML document.

Can I convert SOAP responses to JSON?

Yes. SOAP responses are XML-based. You can paste the entire SOAP envelope and the converter will produce the equivalent JSON structure, making it easier to work with in JavaScript applications.

Does this work with large XML files?

Yes. The converter handles large XML documents efficiently using the browser's built-in DOMParser. Performance is limited only by your device's memory, not by any server-side restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled?

XML attributes are preserved in the JSON output by prefixing their names with an '@' symbol (e.g. '@_id').

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The parsing and conversion happen entirely on your computer inside your web browser. Your data is never uploaded.

Transform XML Documents into Modern JSON APIs

While XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was the dominant data exchange format for over a decade, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has since taken over as the universal standard for web APIs, mobile applications, and NoSQL databases. If you are working with legacy SOAP services, RSS feeds, or older enterprise configurations, you frequently need to convert XML payloads into JSON to make them usable in modern JavaScript or Python environments.

Our XML to JSON Converter simplifies this tedious migration. Simply paste your XML string, and the tool will instantly parse the hierarchical nodes and attributes, converting them into a clean, strictly typed JSON object.

Advanced XML Parsing Features

Attribute Handling: XML attributes (like <user id="1">) are intelligently mapped to JSON keys (e.g., "@_id": "1"), ensuring zero data loss during the conversion.
Text Node Preservation: If an XML element has both attributes and text content, our converter creates a dedicated #text key in the JSON object to preserve the string value.
Browser-Native Security: Processing sensitive enterprise XML data on third-party servers is a massive security risk. Our tool leverages your browser's native DOMParser to execute the conversion entirely on your local machine, keeping your proprietary data completely private.

Stop writing custom regex scripts or server-side parsers. Use our free online utility to safely and instantly convert XML to JSON without compromising your data privacy.
