XML input
<root><user><id>42</id></user></root>
What this tool does
XML to JSON transforms XML markup into JSON so it fits more naturally into scripts, app debugging, and modern API tooling. That makes legacy data easier to inspect with the rest of the tools on MyJSONTool.
It is especially helpful when a vendor export or enterprise integration still speaks XML but the next step in your workflow expects JSON.
Common use cases
- Inspecting XML payloads with JSON-oriented developer tools.
- Moving legacy exports into API test fixtures.
- Turning XML data into script-friendly JSON objects.
- Debugging old integrations using a more familiar data shape.

FAQ
Will attributes be preserved?
Yes. XML attributes are preserved in a dedicated attributes object in the JSON output.
Can I convert repeated XML elements?
Yes. Repeated child nodes are grouped into arrays.
Can I download the JSON output?
Yes. Generate the result and download it as JSON.
Why are some values strings?
XML is text-based, so many converted values begin as strings unless you coerce them later in your application.
