About This Tool
XML to JSON Converter parses XML with DOMParser and maps its element tree into readable JSON. Element names and child structure are converted; XML-specific constructs do not always have a lossless JSON equivalent.
What You Can Do
XML parsing
XML to JSON Converter accepts XML text as its documented input.
Nested element conversion
The current XML to JSON Converter implementation produces JSON text.
JSON output
Element names and child structure are converted; XML-specific constructs do not always have a lossless JSON equivalent.

Practical Use Cases
XML to JSON Converter workflow
Use XML to JSON Converter when you need to parses XML with DOMParser and maps its element tree into readable JSON.
Result preparation
Create a reviewable JSON text result while retaining the original XML text.
Privacy and File Processing
Xml To Json keeps its XML text input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates JSON text for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.
Supported Inputs and Outputs
Input
- XML text
Output
- JSON text
How It Works
Element names and child structure are converted; XML-specific constructs do not always have a lossless JSON equivalent.
Quality and Fidelity
Element names and child structure are converted; XML-specific constructs do not always have a lossless JSON equivalent.
Limitations and Important Notes
- Attributes, mixed text, namespaces, comments, and repeated elements may be represented differently from the source model.
- Malformed XML is rejected rather than repaired.
Worked Example
Convert a small XML API response and inspect its nested JSON representation.
Helpful Tips
- Keep a copy of the original XML text while using XML to JSON Converter.
- Validate the JSON text in its intended destination context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does XML to JSON Converter execute on the application server?
No. The current XML to JSON Converter operation runs in the browser.
Is the XML to JSON Converter transformation always reversible?
Not necessarily. Attributes, mixed text, namespaces, comments, and repeated elements may be represented differently from the source model.
What should I verify after using XML to JSON Converter?
Element names and child structure are converted; XML-specific constructs do not always have a lossless JSON equivalent.
