Step 1
Paste your XML string or upload a .xml file.
XML to JSON Online
Use NewTools to convert XML to JSON directly in your browser. Parses XML in the browser and returns formatted JSON with clear validation errors.
Transform legacy XML documents into modern JSON payloads securely in your browser without uploading any data.
No installation
Fast processing
Browser friendly
Privacy-aware
Features
Local DOMParser Processing: Your XML string is parsed using your browser's native DOMParser. It is never uploaded to an external server.
Element to Object Mapping: Nested XML elements are recursively mapped into JSON properties.
Instant Export: Copy the formatted JSON or download it instantly.
How It Works

Step 2
The browser parses the XML tree into a document object.

Step 3
The logic converts the document nodes into a formatted JSON string.
Common Use Cases
Modernizing API Responses
Easily convert an older XML RSS feed or SOAP response into JSON so you can process it with JavaScript.
Data Extraction
Extract structured records from flat XML files to migrate them into document databases like MongoDB.
Tips & Best Practices
Tip 1
Depending on the depth of the XML, attributes may be dropped if they conflict with child text nodes in this simplified parser.
Tip 2
Ensure your XML is well-formed with a single root element.
XML to JSON
Why convert XML to JSON?
JSON is much easier to work with in JavaScript and modern web frameworks. Converting XML to JSON allows developers to rapidly parse and utilize data from older APIs or RSS feeds.
Conversion Limitations
XML supports properties (attributes) and text content on the same node, which has no direct equivalent in JSON. Our implementation provides a simplified JSON representation that favors nested elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my XML data kept private?
Yes. The parsing executes 100% locally on your machine.
Will I lose XML attributes?
This simplified parser favors text nodes and nested elements. Deeply complex XML attributes may not perfectly translate into the JSON output.
Does it support XML namespaces?
Namespaces are generally treated as part of the node name string by the local DOM parser.
