Why convert XML to JSON?
- Modern tooling. JSON is far easier to work with in JavaScript, Python, and web apps.
- Keeps attributes. XML attributes map to JSON keys so no metadata is lost.
- Bidirectional. Round-trip back to XML anytime from the target menu.
How it works
- Use the converter. Go to the Formatly XML to JSON converter page. No registration is required.
- Upload your XML file. Drag and drop your XML document into the uploader, or browse from your device.
- Convert to JSON. Select JSON as the target format and click the Convert button.
- Download the JSON file. Click the Download button to save the converted JSON document.
Good for
- Consuming a legacy XML feed in a modern app.
- Converting SOAP- or RSS-style XML to JSON.
- Simplifying XML data for front-end use.
FAQ
How does the converter handle XML attributes? The engine maps XML attributes directly to JSON object keys (often prefixed or grouped depending on structure) to ensure no metadata or styling properties are lost during transformation.
Can I convert JSON back to XML? Yes, we support bidirectional data conversion. You can convert your JSON files back to XML easily using the target format menu.
Is my data secure? Absolutely. Formatly operates on secure cloud servers. All files are automatically deleted after exactly 1 hour. No signups or data tracking are active.
