XML to JSON
Convert XML documents to JSON
What is XML to JSON?
XML to JSON is a free online file converter from Farvixo that lets you convert XML documents to JSON. 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 XML to JSON
Drop your file into XML to JSON. Conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Pick the format you need. XML to JSON keeps formatting, layout and quality intact rather than flattening the document.
Save the result immediately. No watermark, no file-size cap and no waiting in a queue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes represented?
Attributes are placed in a prefixed key alongside element content, because JSON has no equivalent concept. This is the main reason two XML-to-JSON converters can produce different output from the same input — there is no single correct mapping.
Why did my repeated elements collapse?
A single child element is ambiguous: it could be one item or a list of one. Converters differ, and this is where round-trip conversions break. Check any element that can legitimately repeat.
Can I convert back losslessly?
Not always. XML carries namespaces, comments, processing instructions and ordering that JSON has no way to express. Simple documents round-trip fine; complex ones do not.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Parsing and conversion both run in your browser, so it is safe to paste a real API payload.
Can I format the JSON output?
Yes — pretty-printed for reading or minified for transmission. Pretty-printing is usually what makes a structural surprise in the conversion visible.

Tips for better results
- 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 and how to fix them
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.
