XML to JSON Converter

Convert XML File to JSON

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was the standard for data transfer before JSON became popular. Today, most modern frontend applications and APIs (like REST and GraphQL) prefer JSON because it is natively supported by JavaScript and is more lightweight.

Common Use Cases:

• Legacy API Integration: Converting responses from older SOAP web services into JSON for a modern React, Vue, or Angular frontend.
• RSS / Atom Feeds: Parsing blog or news feeds to display them in a mobile app.
• Sitemap Processing: Converting sitemap.xml files into JSON to analyze URL structures programmatically.
• Configuration Files: Migrating old Java or .NET XML configuration files into JSON format.

XML to JSON Example (With Attributes)

XML allows data to be stored in "attributes" inside the tag. Because JSON does not have attributes, our converter uses the standard convention of prefixing attributes with an @_ symbol.
