XML To JSON
Convert an XML document into formatted JSON while reporting malformed XML.
How to use the XML To JSON
What does the XML To JSON do?
Convert an XML document into formatted JSON while reporting malformed XML; It applies this page-specific rule: child element names become object properties.
Which inputs does this tool use?
To convert an xml document into formatted json while reporting malformed xml, enter XML document, JSON indentation, JSON result; keep every value in the same example; where available, choose between 2 spaces, 4 spaces, Compact to match the required format; select Convert XML to JSON when the values are ready; Start with a familiar case covered by this rule - Attributes use an @ prefix and mixed direct text uses #text - so the expected result can confirm the settings.
How should the tool result be read?
For a result intended to convert an xml document into formatted json while reporting malformed xml, attributes use an @ prefix and mixed direct text uses #text; read json result together with the original xml document rather than as an isolated answer, and confirm that its units or structure match the intended use.
Why did repeated elements become an array?
When the goal is to convert an xml document into formatted json while reporting malformed xml, an object cannot contain the same key twice, so an array preserves every sibling value.
How are attributes represented?
When using the page to convert an xml document into formatted json while reporting malformed xml, they use keys such as @id when the attribute option is selected.
Limits and accuracy
When using this tool to convert an xml document into formatted json while reporting malformed xml, namespaces, comments, processing instructions, and exact element order may matter to specialist XML workflows; check the result in its intended destination before relying on it for important work; keep xml document until the output has been checked in its intended destination.
How XML structures map to JSON
Child element names become object properties. Repeated siblings with the same name become an array, so two person elements are both retained.
Attributes use an @ prefix and mixed direct text uses #text. These conventions keep information that a simple element-only conversion would discard.
Namespaces, comments, processing instructions, and exact element order may matter to specialist XML workflows. This generic conversion does not claim to replace a schema-aware parser.
