JSON To XML

What is JSON to XML Conversion?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) are widely used formats for data storage and exchange. While JSON is lightweight and ideal for APIs, XML is still a preferred format in enterprise systems and legacy integrations.

Converting JSON to XML allows seamless communication between systems using different data formats.

How It Works

1. Upload or paste your JSON data into the tool.

2. Click Convert to XML.

3. Instantly get the equivalent XML output.

4. Copy the result or download it as an XML file.

Examples

Example 1: Simple Object

JSON Input:

{
  "name": "Alice",
  "age": 30
}

XML output:

<root>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
</root>

Example 2: Nested JSON

JSON Input:

{
  "user": {
    "name": "Bob",
    "location": {
      "city": "Paris",
      "country": "France"
    }
  }
}

XML output:

<root>
  <user>
    <name>Bob</name>
    <location>
      <city>Paris</city>
      <country>France</country>
    </location>
  </user>
</root>

Example 3: Arrays in JSON

JSON Input:

{
  "employees": [
    { "name": "Alice", "id": 1 },
    { "name": "Bob", "id": 2 }
  ]
}

XML output:

<root>
  <employees>
    <name>Alice</name>
    <id>1</id>
  </employees>
  <employees>
    <name>Bob</name>
    <id>2</id>
  </employees>
</root>

Use Cases

• Backend-to-frontend transformations

• Converting API responses

• Generating XML configs from dynamic JSON

• Preparing XML feeds for systems that don’t support JSON

Pro Tips

• Always wrap your JSON in an object, not an array, for root-level XML compatibility.

• Use keys that are valid XML element names (avoid symbols or starting with numbers).

• Combine with XML to YAML for multilayer transformations.

• Check round-trip accuracy using XML to JSON.
