JSON to XML converter
Convert JSON to XML instantly and accurately. Paste any JSON object or array and this tool generates clean, properly indented XML that is ready to use immediately. JSON objects automatically become XML elements with child nodes representing each property, arrays become sequences of repeated <item> elements containing each value, and primitive values like strings and numbers become text content.
Customize your root element name to match your needs — the default is <root>, but you can change it to <data>, <response>, <document>, or any valid XML name that fits your document type or API specification. The converter automatically handles special characters perfectly: ampersands, angle brackets, and quotes in your text content are safely escaped as XML entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;), ensuring your data remains valid XML regardless of what characters it contains.
The conversion preserves your original data structure exactly as is. Nested objects produce properly nested elements, empty objects and arrays produce self-closing tags, and all values are formatted with consistent two-space indentation for easy readability and compliance with common XML style guides. This makes the output suitable for configuration files, API integrations, data interchange and system interoperability.
Since the tool runs entirely in your browser with no server-side processing, your JSON never leaves your device — making it perfectly safe for sensitive configuration files, API responses, internal data exports, or any private information. Download the XML as a file, copy it to your clipboard, or send it directly to another tool for further processing.
FAQ
How does it convert JSON objects to XML?
Each JSON object becomes an XML element. Properties become child elements named after the key. For example, {"name":"John","age":30} becomes <name>John</name> and <age>30</age> nested inside the root element.
What happens to JSON arrays?
Each array becomes a parent element with repeated <item> children, one per value. An array [1,2,3] becomes <item>1</item><item>2</item><item>3</item> nested inside a parent.
Can I change the root element name?
Yes. Use the "Root element" option to specify any name you like — <data>, <response>, <document>, or whatever matches your document type. The tool sanitizes invalid names automatically.
How does it handle special characters?
Text content containing &, <, >, and other special characters is automatically escaped as XML entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;) so the output remains valid XML.
Is my JSON data uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your device, making it safe for sensitive data and private documents.
