How it works
Convert one JSON value into explicit XML
02
Convert locally
The tool parses JSON and writes an indented XML representation in this browser tab.
03
Review before use
Copy or download the XML only after checking its root name, element keys, and type attributes.
Deliberate limits
No guessing about XML names or JSON types.
JSON keys become XML element names. XML has stricter naming rules, so this converter stops when a key cannot be represented instead of quietly changing it. It also writes an explicit type attribute for every JSON value, which makes the output easier to review before another system consumes it.
No uploads
Your JSON stays in this browser tab.
Type-aware output
Each JSON value has an explicit XML type.
Clear arrays
Array entries are repeated item elements.
No renamed keys
Invalid XML names are reported before output.
FAQ
Common questions
Why does the output include type attributes?
XML text by itself cannot distinguish a JSON string from a number, boolean, or null. The attributes make that distinction explicit for review.
Why was one of my keys rejected?
JSON permits many characters that XML element names do not. The tool reports the key instead of silently changing it.
Does this upload JSON data?
No. Parsing and conversion happen locally in your browser.
