How to use Convert XML to JSON
- 1. Paste your XML. Paste the XML document you want converted, including any attributes on its elements. The parser reads the full element tree before producing JSON.
- 2. Choose indentation and attribute handling. Pick 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs for the Indent setting, and toggle Keep attributes to include element attributes as @-prefixed keys in the output or drop them entirely.
- 3. Copy the JSON structure. Copy the resulting JSON object and use it in a JavaScript app, a config file or an API response, now that the XML tree has been mapped onto nested objects and arrays.
When to use Convert XML to JSON
Convert XML to JSON is for pulling markup out of legacy systems and into a format modern applications actually work with. XML remains common in SOAP APIs, RSS feeds and enterprise config, but most frontend and Node code expects JSON, so this tool bridges the two.
- Consuming a SOAP API response. A vendor's web service returns XML and your application is built around JSON throughout. Converting each response once gives you the same data shaped as objects and arrays.
- Parsing an RSS or Atom feed. You are pulling articles from an RSS feed and want the entries as a JSON array you can filter and render, instead of walking an XML DOM by hand.
- Reading a legacy XML config file. An older system stores its settings in XML, and you are migrating that config into a JSON-based application, keeping attributes intact with Keep attributes turned on.
- Inspecting an XML payload from the network tab. You copied an XML response body from a browser's dev tools and want to see the same data as JSON to compare it against another endpoint's JSON response.
Examples

}About the Convert XML to JSON tool
Convert XML to JSON is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Convert an XML document to a JSON data structure. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 90 JSON utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 2 settings, including Indent and Keep attributes, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
Frequently asked questions
Is Convert XML to JSON free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
