Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an XML file to JSON?
Paste your XML text into the input box or click "Upload XML" to select an XML file from your device. The tool automatically validates and converts your document into clean, indented JSON.
How are XML attributes represented in the resulting JSON?
Attributes on XML tags are prefixed with "@_" (for example, <book id="101"> becomes {"@_id": "101"}). If you prefer to omit attributes completely, simply uncheck "Parse attributes".
Does it parse numbers, booleans, and dates?
Yes. With "Parse numbers & booleans" enabled, numeric strings and true/false literals are parsed as native JSON types rather than plain strings.
How does it help detect XML syntax errors?
If your XML has unclosed tags, mismatched closing tags, or unquoted attributes, the converter highlights the exact line and column where the error occurred.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All parsing and conversion are handled entirely in your local browser window. None of your XML documents or data are ever uploaded to a remote server.
