What is JSON to XML Converter?

Converting JSON to XML is required when integrating with legacy SOAP APIs, XML-based messaging systems (like XMPP or AS2), or enterprise middleware that predates JSON's widespread adoption. Many banking, healthcare (HL7 FHIR), and government systems still use XML as the primary data exchange format, and modern REST APIs that return JSON need to be translated before sending data to these systems. This converter maps JSON objects to XML elements, arrays to repeated sibling elements, and scalar values to element text content.

The mapping follows a practical convention: JSON keys become XML element names, string/number/boolean values become element text content, and null values become empty elements. Arrays are handled by repeating the parent element for each item. One limitation: XML element names cannot start with numbers or contain spaces, so JSON keys that are not valid XML names are sanitized. The output wraps content in a configurable root element — `<root>` by default — since valid XML documents require exactly one root.

How to use JSON to XML Converter in 3 steps
  1. 1

    Paste your JSON

    Enter valid JSON in the input area. Objects, arrays, and nested structures are all supported.

  2. 2

    Set the root element name

    Choose the name for the XML root element. Defaults to `root` — change this to match your target API's expected root tag.

  3. 3

    Copy the XML output

    Review the converted XML and copy it for use in your SOAP request, config file, or data pipeline.

Key features and benefits
  • Handles nested objects, arrays, and mixed types
  • Configurable root element name
  • Outputs well-formed, indented XML
  • No server upload — runs in the browser

JSON to XML Converter FAQs

Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.

What happens to JSON arrays?

Each array item is output as a repeated XML element with the array's key as the element name. For example, `{"items": [1, 2, 3]}` becomes `<items>1</items><items>2</items><items>3</items>` inside the root.

Can I convert XML back to JSON?

Use the XML-to-JSON converter (or paste the XML into JSON Formatter if the structure is simple). The reverse mapping follows the same conventions in the opposite direction.

Does it support XML attributes?

The converter generates element-based XML (all values as element text content). Generating XML attributes from JSON requires explicit mapping rules not supported in this general-purpose converter. For attribute-based output, a custom XSLT transformation is more appropriate.

Keep the workflow moving with nearby tools that solve the next likely step.
