XML to JSON Converter

Why Use ToolRift's XML to JSON Converter?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) remains a standard format across enterprise systems, SOAP web services, RSS/Atom feeds, Android resource files, and legacy databases. However, modern full-stack web applications, microservices, and JavaScript frameworks almost exclusively interact with JSON. ToolRift's XML to JSON converter provides an instant, privacy-preserving transformation tool directly in your browser.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Intelligent Hierarchy Mapping: Automatically converts XML trees, nested tags, and repeated elements into clean JSON objects and arrays.
• Flexible Attribute Handling: Choose whether to preserve XML attributes with an @ prefix, merge them directly into the parent object, or ignore them completely.
• Automatic Type Inference: Detects and casts numbers, floating-point decimals, and booleans (true / false) into native JSON primitives.
• Namespace Stripping: Removes prefixes like ns: or soapenv: to yield clean, accessible JSON keys.
• Instant File Upload & Download: Process local .xml or .txt documents and export the generated JSON with a single click.
• 100% Client-Side Privacy: All XML parsing and conversion occurs on your local machine using standard browser DOM parsers. No data is sent across the network.

Example Conversion

Given an XML snippet with attributes and nested elements:

<catalog>
    <book id="bk101" inStock="true">
        <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
        <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
        <price>44.95</price>
    </book>
    <book id="bk102" inStock="false">
        <author>Ralls, Kim</author>
        <title>Midnight Rain</title>
        <price>5.95</price>
    </book>
</catalog>

The converter generates structured, readable JSON:

{
    "catalog": {
        "book": [
            {
                "@id": "bk101",
                "@inStock": true,
                "author": "Gambardella, Matthew",
                "title": "XML Developer's Guide",
                "price": 44.95
            },
            {
                "@id": "bk102",
                "@inStock": false,
                "author": "Ralls, Kim",
                "title": "Midnight Rain",
                "price": 5.95
            }
        ]
    }
}
