Frequently Asked Questions
When would I actually need XML over JSON?
Mostly when you're stuck dealing with older systems. SOAP APIs require XML, a lot of enterprise software still expects it, and RSS feeds are XML-based. Some government and banking systems only accept XML too. It's not as common as JSON anymore, but it's definitely not dead.
How do arrays work in XML?
JSON arrays are converted into repeated XML elements. For example, an array like `["apple", "banana"]` will become two separate, identical tags.
Can I change how the XML looks?
Yeah. You can choose whether to format the XML with indentation and select how many spaces to use. This gives you control over the output's readability.
What happens with weird characters or special keys?
The tool handles it automatically. Special characters like `&` or get escaped properly, and if your JSON keys have spaces or symbols, they're converted to valid XML element names. Null values become empty tags.
Does this actually produce valid XML?
Yep. It follows XML standards, escapes everything properly, and includes the XML declaration at the top. You can use the output directly without worrying about validation errors.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere. It all runs in your browser. Your JSON doesn't get sent to any server—it stays on your computer the whole time.
