How to use JSON to XML Converter
Developer tools guide for json to xml converter users.
While most modern APIs use JSON, legacy systems, enterprise software, and some government/banking integrations still require XML. This tool converts JSON objects to well-formed XML, making the transition straightforward.
JSON arrays become repeated XML elements. JSON objects become nested XML elements. Values become text content.
How to use it
Paste JSON in the input. Set the root element name (default: 'root'). Click Convert. Copy or download the XML.
Mapping rules
JSON object → XML element. JSON array → repeated XML elements with the same tag. JSON string/number → text content of an element.
Quick checklist
- Set a meaningful root element name for the output.
- JSON keys that are invalid XML tag names (start with numbers, contain spaces) are sanitised automatically.
- JSON null values produce empty XML elements.
- For the reverse, use the XML to JSON tool.
Answers
JSON to XML Converter FAQs
What is the root element in the output?
You can set it in the options (default: 'root'). XML requires exactly one root element.
What happens to JSON arrays?
Array items become repeated XML elements with the array key as the tag name.
What if my JSON key contains spaces or starts with a number?
Such keys are not valid XML tag names. The tool sanitises them by replacing spaces with underscores and prepending '_' to keys starting with digits.
Can I go from XML back to JSON?
Yes — use the XML to JSON tool.
