XML File

File extension .XML
CategoryDocument File
DescriptionXML is a versatile kind of language, which resembles HTML. Although they seem to have pretty much in common, as both are based on tags and define documentsí content and structure, they cannot replace each other. First, HTML demonstrates data, while XML describes it. Second, HTML uses standard tags, while XML does not use any, and users who write XML documents actually invent them. XMLs appear to be simpler and more flexible than HTMLs, and they present a very consistent way of sharing information. Meanwhile, these files bear static data, which cannot be rendered without a piece of software.

JSON File

File extension .JSON
CategoryDocument File
DescriptionJSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight data interchange format used for exchanging data between systems. It is a text-based format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is commonly used for web APIs because it is simple, efficient, and widely supported by programming languages.

JSON consists of key-value pairs, with the keys being strings and the values being any valid JSON data type, including numbers, strings, objects, arrays, and boolean values. The syntax for a JSON object is enclosed in curly braces { } and the key-value pairs are separated by commas.

JSON is a versatile format that can be used for many different purposes, including configuration files, data storage, and communication between web applications. Its simplicity and widespread support make it a popular choice for developers.

Convert XML to JSON — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

XML element attributes are converted to JSON key-value pairs within the object representing that element. Common conventions place attributes in a dedicated '@attributes' key or merge them directly into the parent object, depending on the converter's mapping rules.
XML namespace prefixes are preserved in the JSON key names by default. For example, an element like becomes a key like 'ns:item' in the JSON output. If you need namespace stripping, that requires post-processing or a custom XSLT transformation.
Yes. Nested XML elements are converted to nested JSON objects. Repeated elements at the same level are converted to JSON arrays. The hierarchical structure of the XML data is preserved in the JSON output.
Yes. CDATA content is treated as text node content and appears as a string value in the JSON output. The CDATA wrapper itself is removed in the conversion.
Mixed content nodes are handled by representing the text content as a special key (often '#text') alongside the child element keys in the JSON object. The exact representation depends on the conversion mapping used.
The online converter produces human-readable formatted JSON with indentation. For minified single-line JSON output optimized for file size, use a JSON minifier on the result.
Total Excel Converter ($29.90) supports batch XML-to-JSON conversion: TotalExcelConverter.exe C:\xml_folder C:\json_output /ConvertTo json /ProcessRecursively. This is useful for migrating large XML data archives.
 

 

Convert XML to JSON Online

Backend developers and API integrators convert XML data to JSON to make structured data from legacy systems, SOAP services, and XML feeds compatible with modern REST APIs and JavaScript applications.

What Is XML?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a text-based format for structured data, defined by the W3C in 1998. It uses nested tags with attributes to represent hierarchical data and is the basis for SOAP web services, RSS feeds, SVG, and many legacy enterprise data exchange formats. XML is verbose and requires a parser; it is rarely used for new API design today.

What Is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text format for data interchange, derived from JavaScript object syntax. It uses key-value pairs and arrays to represent structured data compactly. JSON is the standard format for REST APIs, NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB), configuration files, and modern web application data. Every programming language has a built-in JSON parser.
