JSON to XML Converter
Turn JSON into well-formed XML, with arrays as repeated elements.
How to use the JSON to XML Converter
- Paste your JSON on the left.
- The XML appears on the right as you type.
- Copy the result.
About the JSON to XML Converter
The JSON to XML Converter turns a JSON document into well-formed XML as you type. Object keys become element names, values become element text, and everything is wrapped in a single <root> element so the output is a valid, self-contained XML document. Arrays are expanded into repeated elements, which is the natural way to represent a list of items in XML.
This is a structural conversion rather than a schema-driven mapping. The tool mirrors the shape of your JSON directly into elements; it does not invent a DTD, XSD or namespaces, and it will not know that a particular field should become an attribute. If you need XML that matches a strict, predefined schema, treat this output as a fast starting point that you then adjust by hand.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded. Paste JSON on the left, read the XML on the right, and copy it when it looks right. To go the other way, use the XML to JSON Converter, and for spreadsheet-style data the CSV to JSON Converter is often a better fit.
Frequently asked questions
How are JSON arrays represented in the XML?
Each element of an array becomes a repeated XML element with the same tag name. This is the standard way to express a list in XML, since XML has no dedicated array type of its own.
Why is everything wrapped in a root element?
A valid XML document must have exactly one top-level element. Wrapping the converted data in a single root element guarantees the output is well-formed no matter what shape your JSON has.
Does it follow a specific XML schema?
No. This is a structural conversion that mirrors your JSON into elements. It does not generate a DTD or XSD and does not map fields to attributes, so adjust the output by hand if you must match a strict schema.
Is my JSON uploaded to convert it?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves the page, which makes it safe to convert payloads that contain private information.
Can I convert the XML back into JSON later?
Yes. Use the XML to JSON Converter for the reverse direction. Because this conversion is structural rather than schema-aware, a round trip may not reproduce your original JSON byte for byte.
