How are XML attributes handled in JSON?

XML attributes can be handled in several ways: as properties prefixed with '@', as a special '_attributes' object, or merged with element content. The converter provides options for attribute handling convention.

What happens with XML namespaces?

XML namespaces (xmlns declarations and namespace prefixes) are preserved in the JSON output, though they may require manual cleanup depending on how the consuming application handles them.

How are repeated XML elements handled?

Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are converted to a JSON array. For example, multiple elements become an 'item' key containing an array of values.

Does this work with SOAP responses?

Yes. SOAP responses are XML-based and can be converted to JSON using this tool. The SOAP envelope, header, and body structure will be preserved in the JSON representation.

Can I convert RSS feeds to JSON?

Yes. RSS feeds are XML-based. Converting them to JSON makes their content (title, link, description, pubDate) accessible as structured JSON data for applications that need to consume RSS programmatically.

What is XML to JSON Converter?

The XML to JSON Converter transforms XML markup into JSON format — converting XML elements to JSON object properties, attributes to JSON fields, and text content to string values. The output is structured JSON ready for use in modern APIs and JavaScript applications.

XML is still widely used in enterprise systems, RSS feeds, SOAP APIs, and configuration files. Modern web and mobile applications typically consume JSON. This converter enables data from XML sources to be used in JSON-based systems without writing parsing code.

Why Use XML to JSON Converter?

Legacy systems, RSS feeds, SOAP services, and enterprise APIs produce XML. Modern web applications consume JSON. This converter bridges that gap — allowing you to work with XML data in JSON-based tools, visualisers, and applications without manual XML parsing.
