JSON to XML Converter
Convert JSON into well-formed XML. Set the root element and array item tag, escape special characters, then copy or download. Everything runs in your browser.
JSON engine. Nothing is uploaded or logged.About the JSON to XML Converter
The JSON to XML Converter turns JSON into well-formed XML right in your browser. Set the root element name and the tag used for array items, then convert. Arrays become repeated child elements and special characters in text and attribute values are escaped. It is built for developers and WordPress and API integrators who need XML for a feed, a config file, or a system that does not accept JSON. Everything runs client-side, so your data is never uploaded.
How it works
- Paste or type your JSON into the input area.
- Set the root element name (default root) and the array item tag (default item), and choose whether to include the XML declaration and indentation.
- The XML output updates as you type; if the JSON is invalid, an inline error shows what went wrong.
- Use Copy to grab the result or Download .xml to save it as a file.

Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The JSON is parsed and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server or logged.
How are arrays converted to XML?
XML has no array type, so each array element is written as a repeated child element using the array item tag you set (default item). The array itself uses the key it was stored under.
What happens to characters like < > and &?
They are escaped to their XML entities (< > & " ') in both text content and attribute values, so the output stays valid XML.
Why did a JSON key change in the XML output?
XML tag names cannot contain spaces or start with a digit. Invalid characters are replaced with underscores, and a leading underscore is added if a name starts with a digit, so every tag is valid.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, conversion runs locally in your browser and keeps working without an active connection.
