JSON to XML Converter

How to Use

1. To convert JSON → XML: paste your JSON into the left panel and click JSON → XML, or type and conversion runs automatically.
2. To convert XML → JSON: paste your XML into the right panel and click XML → JSON.
3. Customize the Root element name used when wrapping JSON output in XML.
4. Toggle Pretty print to control whether output is indented or compact.
5. Use Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter on Mac) as a shortcut from whichever panel you’re editing.

Worked Examples

Simple object

Input JSON:

{"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "active": true}

Output XML (root element: root):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
  <active>true</active>
</root>

Nested objects

Input JSON:

{"server": {"host": "localhost", "port": 8080}}

Output XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <server>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>8080</port>
  </server>
</root>

Arrays

JSON arrays produce repeated XML elements with the tag name item at the top level, or the parent key name for nested arrays:

{"tags": ["js", "xml", "api"]}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <tags>js</tags>
  <tags>xml</tags>
  <tags>api</tags>
</root>

JSON vs XML

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the standard data format for REST APIs and web services — compact, human-readable, and natively supported in every language. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) remains widely used in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, configuration files (Maven, Spring), and document formats (SVG, XHTML, RSS). This tool helps you bridge the two formats when integrating systems that speak different data languages.
