JSON to XML Converter

JSON to XML Conversion

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is still widely used in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, RSS feeds, SVG graphics, and configuration files. Converting JSON to XML is needed when integrating with legacy systems or services that require XML input.

How the Conversion Works

JSON objects become XML elements. JSON keys become tag names. JSON arrays become repeated elements. Primitive values (strings, numbers, booleans) become text content within elements.

JSON vs XML: Key Differences

• Size: XML is more verbose due to opening and closing tags. A JSON payload is typically 30-50% smaller than the equivalent XML.
• Data types: JSON has native types (string, number, boolean, null, array, object). XML treats everything as text — types must be defined in schemas.
• Attributes: XML supports attributes on elements. JSON has no equivalent — everything is a key-value pair.
• Comments: XML supports comments (<!-- ... -->). JSON does not.
• Namespaces: XML has namespaces for avoiding naming conflicts. JSON does not.
