JSON to XML Conversion — Complete Guide
While JSON dominates modern web APIs, XML remains essential in enterprise environments, SOAP web services, Android development (layout files), and legacy system integrations. Converting JSON to XML is a frequent requirement when feeding data into systems that expect XML input, generating RSS/Atom feeds, or interoperating with SOAP-based services.
Our JSON to XML Converter transforms JSON objects into well-formed, properly indented XML documents. The tool intelligently handles JSON keys prefixed with @ as XML attributes and #text as text content, providing a clean round-trip conversion that pairs perfectly with our XML to JSON tool.
Key Features
- Attribute Mapping: JSON keys starting with
@are converted to XML attributes. - Array Handling: JSON arrays are converted to repeated XML elements with the same tag name.
- XML Declaration: Automatically includes the standard XML declaration header.
- Proper Escaping: Special characters like
&,<,>are properly escaped. - Clean Indentation: Output is formatted with consistent 2-space indentation for readability.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. Deeply nested JSON objects are recursively converted into nested XML elements with proper indentation.
Q: What happens to JSON arrays?
A: Arrays are converted to repeated sibling elements. For example, a JSON array under key "item" becomes multiple <item> elements.
