JSON ⇄ XML Converter
Convert JSON to XML or XML to JSON instantly in your browser. Customize conversion options, preview results, and download files. Private & client-side — nothing is uploaded.
Professional JSON ⇄ XML Conversion — Fast, Private, and Precise
MyToolMaster's bidirectional JSON/XML Converter is a purpose-built utility for developers, data analysts, system integrators, and content teams who require reliable data transformation on demand. In today's interconnected digital landscape, data rarely stays in one format. Whether you're migrating API payloads, preparing complex configuration files, or integrating systems with disparate data structures, this tool provides a fast, powerful, and privacy-first solution.
We understand that data security is paramount. That's why every conversion process—from JSON to XML and XML to JSON—happens entirely within your browser. No sensitive payloads, API keys, or confidential customer data ever touch our servers. This client-side architecture guarantees that your information remains your own, giving you the confidence to convert even the most sensitive data without risk.
Why Convert Between JSON and XML?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) are the two most dominant formats for data interchange on the web. While JSON is favored for its lightweight syntax and ease of use in modern web applications and REST APIs, XML remains a cornerstone for many enterprise systems, SOAP web services, configuration files, and legacy platforms. The need to bridge the gap between these two formats is a common challenge for developers.
- System Integration: Seamlessly connect a modern, JSON-based microservice with a legacy enterprise system that only communicates via XML.
- API Development: Test or consume older SOAP APIs that return XML, or provide an XML endpoint for a new REST API for backward compatibility.
- Data Migration: Convert data from an older, XML-based database or content management system into a JSON format suitable for modern NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Firebase.
- Configuration Management: Adapt configuration settings from one framework that uses XML (like older .NET applications) to another that prefers JSON (like Node.js applications).
- Content Syndication: Transform content from XML-based formats like RSS or Atom feeds into a JSON structure for easy rendering in a web or mobile application.
Key Features That Empower Developers
This tool is more than just a simple converter; it's a productivity-enhancing utility designed with professional workflows in mind. We focus on developer ergonomics, providing predictable output, sensible defaults, and helpful error messages to help you spend less time debugging data formats and more time building great software.
Unmatched Security and Privacy
As mentioned, our converter operates 100% on the client side. The JavaScript that powers the conversion runs directly in your web browser. This means your data is never uploaded, stored, or analyzed by our servers. This commitment to privacy makes our tool safe for enterprise-level data, proprietary information, and any payload you wouldn't want to expose online.
Granular Control for Precise Conversions
We provide you with the options you need to get the exact output format required by your application or system.
- Custom Element Names (JSON → XML): When converting JSON, you can specify the name for the root element and the repeating element name for items within an array, avoiding generic names like
<root>
or<item>
. - Preserve XML Attributes (XML → JSON): Unlike many basic converters that discard XML attributes, our tool can preserve them, converting them into key-value pairs within the resulting JSON object. This is critical for maintaining data integrity when dealing with complex XML structures.
- Array Forcing: Gain control over how duplicate XML elements are handled, with the option to force them into a JSON array for consistent data structures.
Streamlined Workflow and User Experience
The interface is designed for efficiency. You can immediately preview the results of your conversion, switch between a human-readable "pretty" format and a compact "minified" format, copy the output to your clipboard with a single click, or download the result as a .xml
or .json
file for immediate use in your projects. We also include a "Load Sample" button to quickly see the tool in action without needing your own data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is this JSON to XML converter tool free to use?
- Yes, this tool is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, rate limits, or signup requirements. It's a utility built for the developer community.
- Is my data secure when using this online converter?
- Absolutely. Security and privacy are our top priorities. The entire conversion process is performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your data is never sent to our server, ensuring it remains 100% private.
- What is the maximum file size I can convert?
- Since the conversion happens in your browser, the limit is determined by your browser's memory and processing power. The tool is optimized to handle very large data payloads, often up to several megabytes, without issues.
- What happens if my input data is invalid?
- If your input JSON or XML is malformed, the tool will display a clear and helpful error message in the status box, often pointing you toward the source of the syntax error so you can quickly fix it.
- Does the converter support nested objects and arrays?
- Yes, it fully supports deeply nested JSON objects and arrays, correctly translating them into a hierarchical XML structure and vice-versa. This ensures that complex data relationships are maintained during conversion.
