How are XML attributes preserved?

By default, attributes appear in the JSON with an @-prefix (e.g. becomes { '@id': 'x' }). You can toggle 'Preserve attributes' off if you only need element values.

XML to JSON

Turn XML documents into structured JSON with predictable type handling.

Drop an XML file

or paste XML directly into the box below

XML content

Pretty-print JSON (2-space indent)

Preserve attributes (with @ prefix)

XML to JSON is the right tool when you've inherited an XML data feed and your modern toolchain expects JSON. Converterzilla's converter will parse XML structure — elements, attributes, text nodes — into clean JSON with predictable conventions for arrays and namespaces.

How to use XML to JSON in your browser

Upload your XML. Drop a .xml file or paste XML content directly.
Pick conversion options. Choose how attributes, namespaces and arrays should appear in the JSON output.
Download the JSON. Save a tidy .json file ready to feed into any JavaScript or REST workflow.

Why use Converterzilla for XML to JSON

Predictable arrays

Repeated elements become JSON arrays automatically — no surprise objects-vs-arrays bugs.

Attribute handling

Choose whether XML attributes become @-prefixed keys or merge into element objects.

Namespace-aware

Strip or preserve namespaces depending on how clean you want the output to be.

Yes — anything up to several hundred MB works fine in modern browsers. The parser runs in your tab, so the only practical limit is your device's memory.

Type inference uses fast-xml-parser's parseAttributeValue option, which auto-converts numeric and boolean attribute values. XSD-driven typing is on our roadmap.
