3 Benefits of using this tool

Legacy Integration

Easily bridge the gap between modern JSON-based APIs and older XML-based systems (SOAP, etc.).

Configuration Migration

Convert JSON configuration files to XML formats required by certain frameworks or tools.

Data Interchange

Prepare data for enterprise systems that strictly require XML input.

Visual Debugging

View the hierarchical structure of your data in a tag-based format.

4 Privacy and Security

This tool operates entirely in your browser. Your data is processed locally using JavaScript and is never sent to any external server. You can safely use this tool with sensitive data without worrying about privacy.

5 Common Errors

  • Multiple Root Elements

    XML requires a single root element. If your JSON is an array or has multiple top-level keys, ensure it's wrapped in a single object.

  • Invalid Tag Names

    JSON keys starting with numbers or containing spaces are invalid XML tag names. The tool may skip or encode them.

6 FAQ

Does it support attributes?

Standard JSON doesn't distinguish between attributes and elements. However, some conventions (like using `@` prefix for keys) might be interpreted as attributes depending on the library.
