JSON to XML — free online tool

What does this do?

XML is still ubiquitous in enterprise integrations, SOAP services, SVG, and many legacy APIs. This converter emits well-formed XML with a UTF-8 declaration, escapes the five XML entities (`<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `\'`), validates element names, and supports the common JSON-to-XML conventions used by libraries like Newtonsoft.Json and xml2js.

When to use it

• ▸Adapt JSON API output for a SOAP/XML downstream system
• ▸Convert configuration to XML for tools that require it
• ▸Generate test XML fixtures from JSON examples
• ▸Quick-check what JSON would look like as XML

Tip

Object keys become element names. Arrays repeat the parent element. A key starting with `@` becomes an attribute on the parent element, and a key named `#text` becomes the text node — the same convention used by xml2js and most JSON↔XML libraries.

Example: Book record with attributes

{
  "book": {
    "@id": "b-42",

    "title": "The Pragmatic Programmer",

      { "@role": "co",      "#text": "Andrew Hunt" }
    ],
    "year": 1999
  }
}
