How to convert JSON to XML
- Add your .JSON file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .XML in a few seconds.
- Download your new .XML file.
What to expect
- JSON arrays map to repeated XML elements with the same tag name - the converter picks the name, usually the parent key, which may not match a specific target schema.
- JSON
nullhas no XML equivalent; most tools output an empty element or skip the field entirely. - A bare JSON array or an object with multiple top-level keys is wrapped in a single root element automatically, usually named
root- rename it if your schema requires something specific.
Frequently asked questions
Is the conversion lossless?
Data values survive intact, but the structure - which keys become elements vs. attributes and how arrays are named - depends on the tool and may need adjustment for a strict schema.
Can I convert XML back to JSON?
Yes; the same tools work in both directions, and the converter above handles
.xml to .json as well.Why does my converted XML look different from what the receiving system expects?
Generic converters use their own rules for element naming and attribute placement; if the target system has an XSD schema, you may need a mapping tool or a short script that builds the structure explicitly.
Do JSON keys with spaces or special characters cause problems?
Yes - spaces and colons are valid in JSON keys but illegal in XML element names; converters typically replace them with underscores, so clean up the keys beforehand if the names matter.
