JSON to XML Converter

Convert modern JSON datasets into structured XML manifests. Essential for integrating with legacy systems, enterprise middleware, or specialized hardware APIs.

100% Private & Secure

This tool runs completely inside your browser using client-side WebAssembly and JS. Zero data is ever sent to our servers.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste your JSON object into the input field.
  2. The tool will instantly generate a beautified XML string.
  3. Use the '@_' prefix for keys in your JSON if you want them treated as XML attributes.
  4. Copy your generated XML for use in your backend or API requests.

Example Usage

Input
{
  "note": {
    "to": "Tove",
    "from": "Jani"
  }
}
Output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
</note>

When to use this tool

  • Generating XML payloads for legacy SOAP web services.
  • Exporting application data for use in older enterprise ERP systems.
  • Creating XML-based configuration files from dynamic JSON state.
  • Ensuring compatibility with hardware APIs that only accept XML input.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I generate XML attributes?

Yes! If you prefix a JSON key with `@_` (e.g., '@_id': 123), it will be converted into an attribute (id='123') rather than a nested tag.

Is the XML output formatted?

Yes, the output is automatically beautified with 2-space indentation and line breaks for maximum readability.

Does it support custom root nodes?

The resulting XML structure mirrors your JSON object. To define a root node, simply wrap your data in a single top-level JSON key.

How are JSON arrays converted to XML?

Arrays are converted into repeating XML elements. For example, `{ 'item': [1, 2] }` becomes `<item>1</item><item>2</item>`.

Is there a limit to nesting depth?

No. The converter handles deep recursion, making it suitable for generating complex XML schemas used in enterprise middleware.

Is my JSON data kept private?

Yes. Like all tools on DevToolsLabs, the conversion is performed client-side. Your data never leaves your machine.
