What is JSON to XML?

JSON to XML converts a JSON document into an equivalent XML document. This is useful when integrating with older APIs, SOAP services or systems that expect XML instead of JSON.

How to use JSON to XML

  1. Paste your JSON into the Input box.
  2. Click Convert to XML.
  3. Copy the XML result from the Output box.

Features

  • Converts objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
  • Escapes special characters so the output is always well-formed XML.
  • Clear error messages with line and column details for invalid JSON.
  • 100% client-side — your data never leaves your browser.

Tips

  • A key that isn't a valid XML tag name — one starting with a digit, or containing a space or punctuation — is rendered as <item name="..."> instead, with the original key preserved in the name attribute.
  • null values, empty objects and empty arrays all render the same way — a self-closing tag like <owner /> — so the XML output alone can't distinguish which of the three produced it.
  • Special characters &, <, > and " inside string values are escaped automatically, so Tom & Jerry becomes Tom &amp; Jerry in the output.
  • XML has no native boolean or number type, so values like true or 4.8 are written as plain text inside their tag — a consuming system needs its own schema to know that <active>true</active> should be treated as a boolean.

Is JSON to XML Converter safe?

Yes. JSON to XML Converter builds the escaped XML output entirely with local JavaScript in your browser, so nothing you paste — including the special characters it escapes — is ever sent to a server.

Example

Input:

{"name": "Toolbeel", "tags": ["free", "fast"]}

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <name>Toolbeel</name>
  <tags>free</tags>
  <tags>fast</tags>
</root>

Frequently Asked Questions

How are JSON arrays represented in XML?

Each item in an array is repeated as a sibling element using the array's own key name, since XML has no native array type.

What tag wraps the whole document?

A single <root> element wraps the converted JSON, since XML requires exactly one top-level element.

What happens if my JSON is invalid?

You'll see an error message with the line and column where the problem was found, so you can fix it before converting.
