Convert XML to JSON in your browser. Native DOMParser with configurable attribute prefix, text key, and compact mode.

Free No signup Client-side Privacy friendly Updated

How to use

  1. 1 Paste valid XML. The browser parses it with the native DOMParser.
  2. 2 Choose attribute prefix (default `@`) and text key (default `#text`).
  3. 3 Toggle Compact to collapse leaf elements (no attrs, no children) to plain strings.
  4. 4 Copy or download the JSON tree.

Why use this tool

  • Native DOMParser — no external XML library bundled.
  • Attributes become keys prefixed with `@`. Mixed text + children stored under `#text` key.
  • Repeated child tags collapse into arrays automatically.
  • Pure client-side — your data stays in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How are attributes represented?

Each attribute becomes a key prefixed with `@` (configurable). `<note to="Tove">` becomes `{"@to": "Tove"}`.

What if a tag repeats inside its parent?

Repeated children with the same tag name collapse into a JSON array.

How is mixed content handled?

Text content sits next to children under the `#text` key (configurable).

What is XML to JSON Converter?

An XML to JSON Converter is a tool that transforms XML markup into equivalent JSON data, mapping elements, attributes, and text content into nested objects and keys. It runs in the browser using the native DOMParser, with configurable options including an attribute prefix, a dedicated text key, and a compact output mode for cleaner, more concise results.

Features

Elements to objects

Nested elements become nested objects; repeated elements become arrays.

Configurable output

Set an attribute prefix and text key, or use compact mode for cleaner JSON.

100% private

Uses the native parser locally — your XML never reaches a server.

Example

Input

<note><to>Ann</to><priority>1</priority></note>

Output

{
  "note": {
    "to": "Ann",
    "priority": "1"
  }
}

Common use cases

  1. 1

    Consume XML in JS

  2. 2

    Migrate legacy data
