XML to JSON Converter

How to use the xml to json converter

Paste XML on the left. JSON appears live on the right. Elements become object keys; attributes are prefixed with "@_"; text content of mixed elements lives under "#text".

Formula & explanation

<tag attr="v">text</tag> becomes {"tag": {"@_attr": "v", "#text": "text"}}. Repeated sibling elements collapse into a JSON array.

Examples

<book id="1"><title>Demo</title></book> becomes {"book":{"@_id":1,"title":"Demo"}}

Frequently asked questions

Why does an attribute have an "@_" prefix?

JSON doesn't distinguish attributes from child elements, so we use a prefix to make the distinction visible. This matches the convention used by most XML-to-JSON converters (badgerfish, fast-xml-parser, x2js).

What happens to repeated elements?

Multiple <item> siblings collapse into a JSON array. A single <item> stays as an object — there's no way to distinguish "one element" from "an array of one" without a schema.

Are SOAP responses supported?

Yes. SOAP is just XML, so paste the response body and the envelope structure will be preserved. Use a JSON tool downstream to drill into the soap:Body content.
