XML formatting and JSON conversion

This tool beautifies XML payloads and feeds so you can inspect deeply nested nodes and verify element names. You can output the cleaned XML, or convert the structure into JSON to make it easier to consume in modern web applications.

Converting legacy XML APIs into JSON helps you understand complex schemas before mapping the data into JavaScript-heavy environments.

Formatting options

Control the visual nesting of the output by selecting 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs.

Enable minification to strip all visual whitespace and generate a compact, one-line output. This is useful for preparing XML for transport, embedding feeds, or storing simple structured data compactly.

How conversion handles attributes

When converting XML to JSON, the tool preserves attributes by prefixing their keys (e.g., @_id). This ensures they are not confused with child elements.

Repeated sibling tags are grouped into arrays, so the resulting JSON structure remains predictable and accurate to the original XML document. Text content and CDATA are also preserved alongside attributes when present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste XML into the left editor or import an `.xml` file. If the XML is valid, the formatted result appears on the right. If not, the tool shows an Invalid XML warning and, when available, line and column details to help you fix the exact issue faster.

Yes. Switch the output mode to JSON and the tool will parse your XML and convert it into structured JSON instantly. Attributes are preserved, repeated sibling tags become arrays, and text nodes are kept so you can inspect the data clearly.

Yes. Turn on Minify to generate compact one-line output. In XML mode it removes unnecessary spacing between tags, and in JSON mode it outputs compressed JSON for smaller files or quick transport.

Yes. In pretty-print mode you can format with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs. This makes it easy to match your project’s coding style or team conventions.

No.
