JSON to XML Converter

Create well-formed XML from JSON quickly and privately. Choose a root element, paste your object, and receive formatted output.

Make XML from JSON without friction

JSON is a compact, familiar format for web applications, but XML remains part of many important systems. A vendor feed may expect XML, a document workflow may use XML schemas, or a legacy integration may only understand tagged data. This JSON to XML converter gives you a focused way to explore that transition without a framework, upload process, or account.

Enter valid JSON, choose an XML root element, and convert. Object keys become element names. Arrays create repeated elements with the same name. Primitive values become escaped text content, keeping characters such as ampersands and angle brackets safe in the resulting XML. The output is formatted for easy reading and can be copied directly into a test request or saved as a starting point for further work.

How to convert JSON to XML

  1. Provide valid JSON

    Paste an object, array, or simple JSON value into the input field. Remember that JSON requires double quotes around keys and strings.

  2. Name the root element

    Use a meaningful root name, such as catalog , order , or response . It must be a valid XML name.

  3. Select Convert

    The converter validates your JSON and produces formatted XML in the output panel.

  4. Inspect and use the output

    Confirm element names and repeated records, then copy the XML into your project or testing environment.

Features that keep conversion straightforward

Safe escaping

Text values are escaped so special characters remain valid XML content.

Array support

Each array entry becomes a repeated tag, preserving list order and values.

Root control

Set the outer element to match the document shape required by your receiving system.

Why use a JSON to XML converter?

Manual conversion is slow and error-prone. One missed closing tag or unescaped ampersand can make an XML document unusable. An in-browser converter gives you a fast, repeatable baseline that is especially helpful while debugging integrations, creating sample payloads, or documenting data structures for colleagues.

As with any format change, syntax is only one part of compatibility. XML supports conventions such as attributes, namespaces, schemas, and mixed content that a plain JSON object cannot always express on its own. XML and JSON Converter uses a simple, transparent mapping: objects become nested elements, arrays repeat the property element, and primitives become text. This makes the output easy to predict and adapt for your particular service.

JSON to XML FAQ

What JSON types can I convert?

Objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null are supported. Arrays use repeated XML elements.

How are special characters handled?

The converter escapes XML-sensitive characters in text values, including ampersands and angle brackets.

Can JSON create XML attributes?

This converter prioritises a clear object-to-element mapping. Add attributes manually if a target schema requires them.

Why is a root element required?

An XML document must have one outermost element. The root field provides that valid document wrapper.

Have XML instead?
