XML to JSON Converter

What is XML?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language much like HTML, used to store and transport data. Unlike HTML, XML has no predefined tags; you define your own tags designed specifically for your data structure.

Features

• Attribute Prefixing: Prefix XML attributes (e.g., with @ or _) to distinguish them from standard elements.
• Ignore Attributes: Optionally exclude XML tag attributes entirely from the output JSON.
• Array Merging: Automatically merge elements with the same tag name at the same level into a JSON array.
• Smart Parsing: Automatically parses primitive types like numbers, booleans, and null.
• Validation: Shows helpful errors if the XML structure contains unclosed tags or syntax issues.
