JSON to XML Converter translates JSON objects into well-formed XML markup. While modern REST APIs return JSON, many enterprise systems, SOAP services, banking integrations, and legacy platforms still require XML payloads. Paste your JSON and get valid XML with proper tag structure, escaped special characters, and a root element — ready to send to any XML-based system.
XML uses wrapping tags like <name>value</name> while JSON uses key-value pairs and brackets. The converter maps each JSON key to an XML element name and wraps the value inside it. JSON arrays are expanded into repeated child elements (typically named <item>). A root element is added because XML requires a single top-level node. Special characters like < > & are escaped to keep the XML valid.
XML has no native array syntax, so JSON arrays are converted into repeated child elements. Each item in the array becomes a separate <item> tag nested inside the parent element. For example, ["JS", "C#"] under a "skills" key becomes two <item> elements inside <skills>.</item>
Valid XML requires exactly one top-level element. If your JSON does not have a single root key, the converter wraps everything in a <root> element to satisfy this requirement. You can rename this element in the output after converting.
Yes. Characters that would break XML syntax are automatically escaped — < becomes <, > becomes >, and & becomes &. This keeps the output valid and prevents parser errors when the XML is processed by other systems.
JSON null values become self-closing empty elements, such as <fieldName />. This preserves the field in the XML structure without including a text value.
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your JSON data is never uploaded to any server, making it safe to use with proprietary or sensitive API payloads.
