XML to JSON: Complete Guide
Transform XML API responses, configuration files, and data dumps to JSON format.
XML is still widely used in enterprise APIs, SOAP services, and legacy configuration files. Converting XML to JSON makes it easier to work with in modern JavaScript/TypeScript applications.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user>
<id>1</id>
<name>Rohith</name>
<email>rohith@example.com</email>
<active>true</active>
</user>
Why Convert XML to JSON?
- JSON is the standard for REST APIs
- JSON is smaller and faster to parse
- JavaScript and most modern frameworks prefer JSON
- Easier to work with in databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB
Example
Input (XML):
<product>
<id>42</id>
<name>Developer Keyboard</name>
<price>149.99</price>
<inStock>true</inStock>
<tags>
<tag>keyboard</tag>
<tag>hardware</tag>
</tags>
</product>
Output (JSON):
{
"product": {
"id": 42,
"name": "Developer Keyboard",
"price": 149.99,
"inStock": true,
"tags": {
"tag": ["keyboard", "hardware"]
}
}
}
