What is XML to JSON conversion?

XML to JSON conversion transforms data from XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. This is useful when working with legacy XML data that needs to be used in modern web applications that prefer JSON.

How does the converter handle XML attributes?

When Include XML attributes is enabled, attributes are converted to JSON keys with an @ prefix. For example, XML attributes become JSON properties with the @ symbol prepended to the attribute name.

What is array detection?

Array detection automatically converts repeated sibling elements into JSON arrays. For example, multiple book elements become a book array in JSON instead of individual objects.

What happens to my data?

Example 1: Simple XML

<person>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>25</age>
</person>

{
  "person": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": "25"
  }
}

Example 2: XML with Attributes

<book id="1" year="2023">
  <title>JavaScript</title>
  <author>John</author>
</book>

{
  "book": {
    "@id": "1",
    "@year": "2023",
    "title": "JavaScript",
    "author": "John"
  }
}

Example 3: Nested XML with Arrays

<library>
  <book>
    <title>JS Guide</title>
  </book>
  <book>
    <title>Python</title>
  </book>
</library>

{
  "library": {
    "book": [
      { "title": "JS Guide" },
      { "title": "Python" }
    ]
  }
}
