JSON to XML
Convert JSON to XML
Frequently Asked Questions
How does JSON to XML conversion work?
JSON objects become XML elements, arrays become repeated elements, and values become text content. {"name":"Alice","age":30} converts to <root><name>Alice</name><age>30</age></root>.
How are JSON arrays converted to XML?
Arrays use a wrapper element with repeated child elements: {"items":[1,2,3]} becomes <items><item>1</item><item>2</item><item>3</item></items>. You can customize the child element name.
Can I customize the root element name?
Yes. The default root element is <root>. You can change it to any valid XML element name. You can also add XML declaration () and specify encoding in the output.
How are null values handled?
JSON null values can be converted to empty elements (<field/>), elements with xsi:nil="true" attribute, or omitted entirely. Choose the behavior that matches your XML schema requirements.
Is the conversion reversible?
Generally yes, but some information may be lost. JSON distinguishes numbers from strings (42 vs "42"), but XML treats all content as text. Array structure may also differ. Use the XML to JSON converter for the reverse operation.
