JSON to XML Converter
Paste valid JSON and convert it to a clean XML string. The converter recursively walks the JSON structure, turning object keys into element tags, arrays into repeated sibling elements, and primitive values into text content. The output is indented for readability and can be copied with one click.
Arrays are handled by repeating the parent key as a wrapper element for each item. Nested objects produce nested elements. Null values become empty self-closing tags. Numbers and booleans are serialized as their string representation.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser — no server, no upload, no dependencies. Useful for API testing, data migration, configuration file conversion, and anywhere you need to move between JSON and XML formats quickly.

Frequently asked questions
How are JSON arrays converted to XML?▼
Each array element is wrapped in a tag using the array's key name. For example, { "items": [1, 2, 3] } becomes <items>1</items><items>2</items><items>3</items>.
What happens with null values?▼
Null values are converted to empty self-closing XML tags. For example, { "value": null } becomes <value/>.
Can I control the indentation?▼
Yes, the tool includes a pretty-print option that indents the XML output with two spaces per level. Toggle it off to get compact single-line XML.
