Convert structured data into XML
JSON to XML parses a JSON value and serializes its structure as XML. Objects become nested elements, arrays become repeated child values according to the converter mapping, and scalar values become XML text. The page performs a data conversion so quoted JSON syntax, escaping, and nesting are handled by the engine instead of a string replacement.
Paste the sample, provide your own object, or drop a JSON file into the input area. The sample demonstrates a root element with name andprivate children. Download the result as converted.xml, or use XML to JSON for the reverse direction.
XML has a schema boundary
JSON and XML do not have identical data models. JSON has native arrays, booleans, numbers, and null, while XML has elements, attributes, text, namespaces, and an application-defined schema. A converter must choose a mapping for arrays and scalar values. The result can be well-formed XML and still need adjustments for SOAP, RSS, a vendor feed, or another strict contract.
Review element names when JSON keys contain spaces, punctuation, or a name that is not allowed by XML. Also check how the receiving system expects repeated elements, empty values, and root names. The converter does not invent a business schema or remove fields that look private.
Escaping and type fidelity
XML text must escape characters such as ampersands and angle brackets when they appear as data. The engine handles XML escaping while it writes the output, so a string containing markup is not silently treated as an element. Inspect the result when text includes quotes, Unicode, or line breaks.
XML commonly carries values as text. A number or boolean in the source may therefore need schema-aware interpretation after conversion. If the receiving application requires explicit type markers or attributes, add them according to that application's documentation.
Check before sending
Validate the generated XML with the same parser or schema used by the destination. Conversion, file reading, copying, and downloading happen in your browser, and nothing is uploaded. For a YAML representation of the same JSON data, see JSON to YAML. For a formatted view of the source, open JSON Formatter.
FAQ
Does JSON to XML upload my data?
No. JSON is parsed and XML is generated in your browser. After the page loads, it still works in airplane mode. TheDevTab never receives the JSON.
What JSON can be converted to XML?
Objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values can be serialized. The XML mapping follows this converter's rules, so inspect the output before sending it to a strict system.
Can JSON keys become XML elements?
Object keys are used to create XML element names where this converter's rules permit them. Keys that are not valid XML names may need to be renamed before conversion.
How are arrays represented?
Array items are represented as repeated child elements according to this converter's rules. XML does not have a native array type, so the receiving schema determines the intended meaning.
Are JSON types preserved in XML?
XML stores text with structure rather than JSON number and boolean types. Review the receiving schema and output when type fidelity matters.
Can I convert a JSON file?
Yes. Drop a .json file into the input area or paste it. File reading, conversion, and the converted.xml download happen locally in your browser.
