XML to JSON Converter

Parse XML documents into JSON objects for modern APIs and JavaScript tooling.

Input XML

Output JSON

Modernize XML payloads

SOAP feeds, RSS, and enterprise exports still arrive as XML. CalcForge parses elements and attributes into JSON you can query with JSON Path, validate, or send to REST services without maintaining a separate XPath stack in the browser.

Good fits

Inspecting legacy integration responses during API replatforming
Converting RSS or Atom feeds for JSON-first dashboards
Prototyping transforms before writing server-side mappers
Exploring SOAP envelopes without desktop XML tools

XML:
<item id="1"><name>Widget</name></item>

JSON:
{"item":{"@id":"1","name":"Widget"}}

Practical notes

Attribute naming varies by converter settings—confirm `@` prefixes on a sample.
Repeated sibling tags may become arrays; verify shape on your source document.
Large XML files process locally—split feeds if performance degrades.

Frequently asked questions

How are XML attributes represented?

Attributes typically appear as special keys (often prefixed with `@`) alongside child element keys.

Are namespaces supported?

Common namespace declarations map to keys or metadata. Test with your document— exotic NS layouts may need server-side tools.

Can I convert JSON back to the same XML?

Round-trip may differ in attribute order or prefixes. Use JSON to XML and compare with XML Diff externally if critical.
