This free tool transforms valid JSON into readable XML. Ideal for API development, system integrations, and data transformation workflows.
Convert your JSON data into clean, readable XML with our free online converter. Designed for developers, testers, and integrators who work with APIs or data exchange formats.
Input JSON:
{
"name": "Alice",
"age": 25
}
Output XML:
<root> <name>Alice</name> <age>25</age> </root>
XML requires exactly one root element, but a JSON value does not, so this converter always wraps the result in an element named root. Each object key becomes a child element with the key as its tag name, and each value is written as that element's text. Objects nest by recursion, and indentation uses two spaces per level. An array has no direct XML equivalent, so the tool repeats the element once per item: a key named item holding three numbers becomes three sibling item elements. A top-level array therefore produces root elements nested inside the root element.
Tag names in XML 1.0 must start with a letter or underscore and cannot contain spaces, so a JSON key such as first name or 2024 does not produce well-formed XML. The converter does not rename or validate keys, and it does not escape characters in values. A string containing an ampersand or a less-than sign is copied literally, which makes the output invalid until you replace them with the entities & and <. JSON has no attributes or comments, so the result contains only elements and text.
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. We do not store or transmit your data.
Yes. It handles nested objects and arrays, and formats them correctly in XML.
The tool will show an error alert. Please check your JSON syntax (double quotes, commas, etc.).
A well-formed XML document must have a single top-level element, while JSON can start with any value. The tool therefore adds an element named root around whatever you provide.
Each array item becomes its own element that repeats the key name, placed inside an element carrying that same name. This is a common convention, though XML itself has no native array type.
