Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert XML to JSON?
JSON is way easier to work with in modern code. If you're getting XML from an old API, SOAP service, or RSS feed but need to use it in JavaScript or a REST API, converting to JSON makes life simpler. Plus, JSON is just less verbose and easier to read.
What happens to XML attributes?
XML attributes are converted into JSON properties. By default, they are grouped under a special `$` key. For example, <user id="123"> becomes {"user": {"$": {"id": "123"}}}.
How are self-closing tags handled?
Self-closing tags like <item/> are converted into properties with an empty string value, like "item": "".
What about XML namespaces?
Namespaces and prefixes are automatically stripped from the XML elements and attributes during the conversion process. The resulting JSON will not contain any namespace information.
Does it handle CDATA sections?
Yes. Content inside a CDATA section is extracted and converted into a standard JSON string.
Is my XML uploaded anywhere?
Nope. Everything runs in your browser. Your XML stays on your computer and never gets sent to a server.
