Things to know

  • Element attributes are stored as keys with an @_ prefix in front of the name.
  • Repeated elements with the same name are grouped into an array. A single occurrence becomes a plain value, not an array.
  • Malformed XML is not converted; you'll see a message instead.

Frequently asked questions

How are XML attributes stored?

Element attributes are stored with an @_ prefix in front of the name. For example, <item id="1"> becomes {"item":{"@_id":"1"}}, keeping attributes distinct from child elements.

What happens with repeated elements?

Elements that appear multiple times with the same name are grouped into an array. If an element appears only once, it's stored as a single value — account for both cases when using the output in code.

Are namespaces and CDATA supported?

Yes. Element names that include namespaces are used as keys unchanged, and text inside CDATA sections is stored as a plain string value.

Can I convert the resulting JSON back to XML?

No. Converting back to XML is not currently offered, so we recommend keeping your original XML file.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Your files never leave your device. Conversion runs inside your browser and nothing is uploaded.
