Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled in the JSON output?
XML attributes are converted to JSON properties, typically prefixed with "@" to distinguish them from child element properties. This follows common XML-to-JSON convention.
Does the converter handle XML namespaces?
Yes. Namespace prefixes are preserved in the property names of the JSON output so that the semantic meaning of the original XML is retained.
What happens with repeated XML elements?
Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are converted to a JSON array, which is the correct representation for repeating data structures.

About XML to JSON

The XML to JSON Converter on Utilko simplifies one of the most common data transformation tasks in software development. XML remains the standard format for SOAP web services, RSS feeds, SVG files, Microsoft Office documents, and many enterprise systems, while modern APIs and front-end applications overwhelmingly prefer JSON.

The converter intelligently handles the structural differences between XML and JSON, mapping elements, attributes, text nodes, and repeated siblings to their most sensible JSON equivalents. Whether you are integrating a legacy system with a modern API or just need to inspect XML data in a more readable format, this tool handles it in your browser with complete privacy.
