JSON to XML Converter

Convert JSON into nested, readable XML

Convert JSON objects and arrays into indented XML, with a root element name you control, computed locally as you type. Nothing you paste is uploaded.

Converted to XML in your browser.

What this tool does

XML and JSON both model nested data, but plenty of legacy systems, feeds and configuration formats still expect XML. This tool walks a parsed JSON document and turns each object key into a matching XML element, repeats array items as sibling elements, and escapes text content so the result is valid, indented XML you can drop straight into another tool.

How to use it

  1. Paste JSON into the input box, or load the example.
  2. Set the root element name for the generated document.
  3. Copy or download the XML output.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

How are JSON arrays represented in XML?
Each array item becomes a repeated sibling element using the same tag name as the array's key, since XML has no native array type.
What happens to keys that aren't valid XML element names?
Characters outside letters, digits, underscore, hyphen and period are replaced with an underscore, and a name that can't start with a letter or underscore is prefixed automatically.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The input and result are processed in your browser.
