Online JSON to XML Converter

I like JSON. It is clean, easy to read, and works perfectly with JavaScript. But every now and then, some service or client comes along and says, “We only support XML.” That is when I reach for this converter.

This JSON to XML Converter takes your neat JSON object and turns it into a well-formed XML string. It works fully in your browser. No installs. No confusion. Just paste and go.

What Is JSON and XML?

Let us keep this beginner-friendly.

JSON is a way to structure data using curly brackets. It is great for web apps and used everywhere in APIs.

XML is older. It uses angle brackets and is still common in enterprise systems, configuration files, and SOAP APIs.

Here is the difference:

JSON Input

{
  "user": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "role": "editor"
  }
}

XML Output

<user>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <role>editor</role>
</user>

This tool does that transformation.

What This Tool Does

It takes any valid JSON and converts it to clean XML using the x2js library. You paste your JSON into the top box. Click a button. XML appears in the bottom box.

This is useful if:

• You are working with an XML-only API
• You are testing SOAP responses
• You need to migrate from REST to SOAP or vice versa
• You are debugging or translating config files

What to Expect

This tool gives you:

• Simple UI with two boxes
• Clean indentation
• Instant conversion
• Mobile-friendly layout
• No login or setup

Everything runs in the browser. You control your data.

Input and Output Examples

Example 1:

{
  "product": {
    "id": 123,
    "name": "Laptop"
  }
}

Turns into:

<product>
  <id>123</id>
  <name>Laptop</name>
</product>

Example 2:

{
  "order": {
    "items": {
      "item": [
        { "name": "Pen", "qty": 2 },
        { "name": "Notebook", "qty": 1 }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Becomes:

<order>
  <items>
    <item>
      <name>Pen</name>
      <qty>2</qty>
    </item>
    <item>
      <name>Notebook</name>
      <qty>1</qty>
    </item>
  </items>
</order>

Why Convert JSON to XML?

• Some APIs only accept XML
• Configuration files may need to be written in XML
• You might need to support legacy tools that cannot read JSON
• XML is still common in large-scale enterprise apps and banks

This converter bridges the gap fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert nested JSON objects?

Yes. The output XML will reflect the nested structure properly.

What happens with arrays in JSON?

They become repeated XML elements. It is smart enough to handle it.

Does this tool support formatting or indentation?

It outputs valid XML, but formatting is basic. You can run the result through an XML beautifier if needed.

Can I paste a full JSON file?

Yes, as long as it is valid. Just paste and click.

Will this work on mobile?

Yes. The layout is responsive and touch-friendly.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser.

What if I paste broken JSON?

You will see an error. Check your commas, quotes, and brackets.

Can I use this for production data?

This is for quick conversions. For production, use proper parsers in your codebase.

Does it support special characters?

Yes. If they are valid in JSON, they will be included in the XML safely.

How to Use (Step-by-Step)

1. Copy your JSON data from any source
2. Paste it into the top box
3. Click Convert JSON to XML
4. Copy the output from the bottom box
5. Use it wherever XML is required

I made this tool for speed. When you are knee-deep in an integration and someone hands you JSON but needs XML, you do not want to waste time. This does what it says. Nothing more, nothing less. Paste JSON. Click convert. Done.
