- Turning a legacy XML config into JSON for a rewritten service.
- Making a large XML document easier to query with standard tooling.
XML to JSON: limits and things worth knowing
- Attributes and child elements both become object keys, which loses the distinction between them. Most converters prefix attributes (commonly with @) to keep them separable.
- An element appearing once becomes a value and appearing twice becomes an array, so the resulting shape depends on the data rather than the schema. Code that assumes an array will break on a single-item document.
- Mixed content — text and elements interleaved in the same parent — has no clean JSON representation and is where conversions most often lose information.
- Namespaces are flattened into the key names; the prefix-to-URI mapping is not preserved.
Is it private and secure?
Your privacy is built in. XML to JSON runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.
Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.
You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
