JSON to XML Converter

What is JSON to XML Conversion?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) are both widely used data interchange formats. While JSON is lightweight and easier for humans to read, XML remains the standard in many legacy systems, SOAP APIs, and configuration files. Converting JSON to XML allows you to bridge modern and traditional systems, integrate with older services, or meet specific data format requirements.

This tool transforms valid JSON into well‑formed XML. It handles nested objects, arrays, and primitive data types, producing XML that preserves the original data structure. The conversion follows common conventions: object properties become child elements, arrays are repeated elements, and primitive values become text content.

All processing is done locally – your data never leaves your browser.

How to Use

Step 1: Paste your JSON into the input area. You can use the sample JSON as a guide.
Step 2: Click "Convert to XML". The tool validates the JSON and generates the corresponding XML.
Step 3: If the JSON is invalid, you'll see an error message.
Step 4: Copy the XML output using the "Copy XML" button.

The generated XML includes a root element `` if the JSON is an object. For arrays, the root element is ``. You can modify this in the output if needed.

Examples

Input JSON:
{"person":{"name":"Alice","age":25}}
Output XML:

<root>
  <person>
    <name>Alice</name>
    <age>25</age>
  </person>
</root>

Array Example:
{"users":["John","Jane"]}
Output:

<root>
  <users>
    <item>John</item>
    <item>Jane</item>
  </users>
</root>

Who Uses JSON to XML Converters?

• API Developers – converting responses to XML for legacy clients.
• System Integrators – bridging modern JSON APIs with XML-based systems.
• Data Engineers – preparing data for XML‑based ETL processes.
• Testers – creating XML test data from JSON templates.
• DevOps – transforming configuration formats.

Pro Tips

• If your JSON contains special XML characters (<, >, &, etc.), they are automatically escaped.
• Use the "Copy XML" button to quickly paste the result into your editor.
• For arrays, the tool uses `` tags by default. You can rename them after conversion if needed.
• If you need the XML to have a custom root element, you can edit the output manually.
• Check the "Validate JSON" checkbox if you want to ensure the input is valid before conversion (validation is automatic).
