Quick answer

XML to JSON conversion turns XML nodes into nested JSON objects.

Attributes use an @ prefix and repeated elements become arrays.

Best inputs

Use well-formed XML

Close tags and fix parser errors before relying on output.

Review arrays

Repeated elements are grouped, which may differ from your target schema.

XML conversion method

The browser parses XML and walks the element tree.

Element names become object keys.

Attributes are represented with @ prefixes.

Text content appears as strings or #text fields when mixed with child elements.

Example, Assumption, and Limitation

Use the result as a practical estimate or transformation, then confirm edge cases for critical work.

Example

<item id="1">A</item> becomes item with @id and text value.

Assumption

The XML is intended for data inspection or simple conversion.

Limitation

Namespaces, schemas, CDATA, and mixed content may need manual review.

Common use cases
