How to use
- Paste JSON or load the sample.
- Choose the indentation.
- Copy the XML or download it.
Options explained
- Attributes
- Keys that start with @, such as "@id", become attributes; "#text" becomes the element text.
- Arrays
- An array becomes the same element repeated once per item.
- Root element
- XML needs exactly one root. If the JSON is an array or has several top-level keys, everything is wrapped in <root>.
Example
The @id key becomes an attribute, the array becomes repeated item elements and null becomes an empty element. The input has exactly one top-level key, so that key is the root element.
{"order": {"@id": "A1", "customer": "Ada", "item": [{"name": "Pen", "qty": 2}, {"name": "Ink", "qty": 1}], "note": null}}<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<order id="A1">
<customer>Ada</customer>
<item>
<name>Pen</name>
<qty>2</qty>
</item>
<item>
<name>Ink</name>
<qty>1</qty>
</item>
<note/>
</order>When the top level is an array, such as [{"a": 1}, {"a": 2}], the result is a root element containing one item element per entry, each holding the a element.
Frequently asked questions
Are invalid element names fixed?
No. Keys with spaces or starting with a digit are not valid XML names; rename them in the JSON first.
How are null values written?
As empty elements, such as <middleName/>.
Can I convert the XML back?
Yes. Use XML to JSON; with the same @ and #text conventions the round trip keeps attributes and text.
