## 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

1. **Add your file** — Drop your file into XML to JSON. Conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
2. **Choose the output format** — Pick the format you need. XML to JSON 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 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.
