## What is JSON to XML?

JSON to XML is a free online file converter from Farvixo that lets you convert JSON data to XML. Conversion runs in your browser rather than on a server, so files are never uploaded and there is no queue to wait in. No watermark, no size cap and no account — convert as often as you need.

## How to use JSON to XML

1. **Add your file** — Drop your file into JSON to XML. Conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
2. **Choose the output format** — Pick the format you need. JSON to XML keeps formatting, layout and quality intact rather than flattening the document.
3. **Download the converted file** — Save the result immediately. No watermark, no file-size cap and no waiting in a queue.

## Use cases

- Opening a file in software that does not support the original format
- Preparing data for an import that accepts only one specific format
- Converting a confidential document without uploading it to a converter site
- Batch-converting a folder of files in one pass

## Tips

- Conversion between structurally different formats is approximate. Check the output before relying on it.
- Keep the original file. A converted copy has already lost whatever the target format cannot represent.
- For spreadsheets, confirm number and date formats survived — those are what usually break.

## Common problems

- **Formatting shifted after conversion** — The target format cannot represent every feature of the source. Simplify complex layouts before converting.
- **The file is rejected as unsupported** — The extension may not match the actual content. Open it in its native application and re-save it properly.
- **Non-English text became question marks** — An encoding mismatch. Ensure the source is saved as UTF-8 before converting.

## FAQ

### How are JSON arrays converted?

Each item becomes a repeated element, since XML has no array type — it expresses lists by repeating an element name. That is why converting back sometimes yields a single object where you had an array of one.

### What happens to keys that are not valid XML element names?

Keys starting with a digit or containing spaces are not legal XML names and are sanitised. XML naming is stricter than JSON, so some information about the original key can be lost.

### Is special-character escaping handled?

Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes are escaped so the output is well-formed. Unescaped ampersands are the most common cause of XML that fails to parse.

### Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so real payloads and config are safe to paste.

### Can I set the root element name?

Yes. XML requires a single root element and JSON has no equivalent, so one must be supplied — naming it meaningfully makes the output far easier to work with.
