How to Use XML to JSON Converter in 3 Easy Steps

No software installation required. Everything runs directly inside your web browser.

Paste your XML

Paste your API payload or log file into the left pane. We use `xmllint`'s parsing logic to quickly catch malformed inputs.

Configure Options

Select whether to strip namespaces, ignore attributes, or parse numeric values.

Copy or Download

How to Use the XML to JSON Converter

This tool converts XML directly into JSON using the fast WebAssembly/JS engine within your browser. To get started, paste your XML on the left. The JSON will instantly generate on the right.

Reference: What each option does:

Option	Description	Example Input	Example Output
Ignore Attributes	Drops XML attributes.	`<a id="1">x</a>`	`{"a": "x"}`
Remove Namespaces	Strips `soapenv:` prefixes.	`<ns:user>Alice</ns:user>`	`{"user": "Alice"}`
Parse Numbers	Casts strings to numbers (Warning: removes leading zeros).	`<zip>02134</zip>`	`{"zip": 2134}`
Force Arrays	Pass a comma-separated list of tags to force into arrays.	`user`	`{"user": ["Alice"]}`

How Attributes are Mapped

JSON does not natively support attributes like XML does. To ensure zero data loss, this tool preserves your attributes by converting them into standard JSON keys with a specific prefix.

Parser Library	Prefix Used	Output Example
This Tool (fast-xml-parser)	`@_`	`{"@_id": "1"}`
Python xmltodict	`@`	`{"@id": "1"}`
CLI yq	`+@`	`{"+@id": "1"}`
