What is XML to JSON Converter?
An XML to JSON converter transforms XML documents into equivalent JSON structures. This is essential when integrating legacy SOAP services with modern REST APIs or migrating configuration files to a more lightweight format.
How to Use
- Paste your XML content into the input area
- The converter parses the XML tree and maps it to JSON
- Review the output for correct attribute and element mapping
- Copy or download the resulting JSON
Frequently Asked Questions
- How are XML attributes handled in JSON?
- Attributes are usually prefixed with '@' or placed in a special '_attributes' object to distinguish them from child elements.
- What happens to XML namespaces?
- Namespace prefixes are preserved in the key names by default. Some converters offer an option to strip namespaces for cleaner output.
- Is XML to JSON conversion always lossless?
- Not always. XML features like comments, processing instructions, and attribute ordering may be lost since JSON has no equivalent constructs.
