About XML to JSON
Working with an XML feed, SOAP response, or config file in a JavaScript or JSON-first codebase means you constantly fight tag traversal and DOM walking. JSON is far easier to index, loop, and store, so converting the XML up front lets you treat the data like any other object. This tool parses your XML and produces an equivalent JSON structure you can use right away.
Paste well-formed XML and the converter turns elements into keys, nests children as objects, and collects repeated tags so your data becomes navigable JSON. It is free, browser-based, and requires no account, returning the result as soon as you paste. Make sure tags are properly closed, since malformed XML cannot be parsed reliably.
Common uses

- Converting an RSS or Atom feed into JSON for processing
- Turning an XML config file into JSON your tooling understands
- Inspecting dense XML as more readable nested JSON
- Migrating data from an XML export into a JSON-based store

FAQ
How are XML attributes handled?
Attributes are commonly mapped into the JSON object alongside the element's child content, often under a dedicated key, so both are preserved.
What happens with repeated tags?
Multiple elements with the same name are typically grouped into a JSON array so each occurrence is kept.
Does it require valid XML?
Yes. The input must be well-formed with matched, properly nested tags, or parsing will fail.
Is mixed text and element content supported?
Mixed content can be ambiguous in JSON. Simple element trees convert most cleanly, while mixed nodes may need manual review.
Can I use XML to JSON on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
