What Is JSON to XML?
JSON to XML converts JavaScript Object Notation data into well-formed XML documents. While JSON dominates modern web development, XML remains essential in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, and many legacy applications. This converter recursively transforms JSON structures into XML elements: objects become parent elements with child elements for each key, arrays create repeating elements, and primitive values become text content. The output includes an XML declaration and uses proper XML character escaping.
Why Use Our JSON to XML?
- Handles nested objects, arrays, and all JSON types recursively.
- Customizable root and array item element names.
- Proper XML character escaping for all special characters.
- Well-formatted output with indentation and XML declaration.
Common Use Cases
SOAP Integration
Convert JSON API data into XML for SOAP web service requests.
Enterprise Systems
Transform modern JSON data for legacy XML-based enterprise applications.
RSS/Atom Feeds
Prepare JSON data for XML-based syndication formats.
Configuration Files
Convert JSON configuration into XML format for applications that require it.
Technical Guide
The converter recursively traverses the JSON structure, generating XML elements at each level. For JSON objects, each key becomes an XML child element containing the value. For arrays, each item generates a repeating element using the configurable item tag name. Primitive values (strings, numbers, booleans) become text content within their parent element. Null values generate self-closing empty elements. JSON keys are sanitized for XML compatibility: characters not valid in XML names are replaced with underscores. XML special characters in text content are escaped using standard entities: & → &, < → <, > → >, " → ". The output uses 2-space indentation for readability. The recursive approach preserves the full depth of nested JSON structures. Each nesting level adds one indentation level in the XML output.
Tips & Best Practices
- 1Choose meaningful root and item tag names that describe your data structure.
- 2JSON keys with special characters are automatically sanitized for valid XML tag names.
- 3Null values produce self-closing empty elements in the XML output.
- 4For very deep nesting, the XML output may be verbose — consider flattening first.
