JSON to XML

Converting JSON to XML can be both fun and essential. While modern browsers offer robust support for JSON, XML remains a traditional format that is sometimes required by specific programs. This is why converting your JSON files into XML format can be crucial.

How to use our JSON to XML converter?

Follow the following steps to convert the JSON file into an XML file using our JSON to XML converter.

• Open the online JSON to XML converter.
• You can either copy-paste the JSON string, use the "Load from URL" option, or upload the JSON file using the "Browse" option.
• After uploading the JSON file, click on the "Convert" button to convert the JSON file format into an XML file format.
• The resulting code will be displayed in the "Result" section.
• Please copy the code and paste it into the desired location.

JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight format used for sorting, transmitting, and presenting data in a human-readable form. Although it follows JavaScript syntax, JSON is a language-independent format that doesn't rely on JavaScript code for reading or writing.

JSON is widely adopted by web services and APIs for public data exchange. It is used to transmit data between browsers and servers in a text format. Data originally in JavaScript can be easily transformed into JSON for transmission, and JSON responses from a server can be converted back into JavaScript.

Use the JSON.parse () function to convert JSON into a JavaScript object. Conversely, use JSON.stringify() to transform a JavaScript object into JSON. You can use a JSON Validator to validate your JSON structure against JavaScript standards.

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a traditional format used for transferring data over the internet. It stores data in a way that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

Unlike HTML, where tags are predefined, XML allows you to create custom tags based on your needs. The primary purpose of XML is data transport, not data presentation. Data is encapsulated within XML tags, facilitating its transfer between systems.

You can use the XML Viewer/ XML Formatter to edit and display your XML file in a tree view.

Although JSON is widely supported by modern browsers, data exchange is not yet fully standardized across all formats. XML remains a traditional data transfer method; if a program only supports XML, you'll need to convert JSON into XML.

Both JSON and XML are human-readable and hierarchical, meaning they both support nested data structures. They can be used with various programming languages and fetched using XMLHttpRequest.

However, there are important differences between JSON and XML that should be understood.

• People who already use JSON know that it does not have ending tags. However, XML contains the start and end tags.
• The JSON is shorter than XML.
• In JSON, reading the file is more comfortable than in XML.
• JSON uses flower/curly and square brackets for the objects and the array. However, in XML, there are no predefined tags. You create your tags for data transmission.
• JSON is data-oriented, and XML is document-oriented.
• JSON can use the arrays, and you create your tags in XML.
• XML is a markup language, and you can add additional information in the plain test. However, JSON is a more efficient and structured way to represent the data in a human-readable format.
• The JSON format is popular because it is easy to use and has an understandable syntax. It is preferred over the XML format.
• The JSON is less secure than the XML.
• The XML supports comments and various encoding schemes. In contrast, JSON only supports the UTF-8 encoding scheme and does not support comments.

To use this, do the following steps.

• On the top-right corner of the tool, there is a "Sample" option.
• Click on the "Sample" option to upload the JSON sample data.
• Click on the "Convert" button to convert it into XML format to see the results.

Note: The conversion of JSON into XML is not 100% accurate because the XML format uses different item types that do not have an equivalent JSON representation.

Protecting user trust is our top priority. We do not keep a copy of the source code that the user pastes for the JSON to XML conversion.

Note: We do not keep a copy of the resulting code. Therefore, if you are happy and satisfied with the results, please copy the code and paste it to the desired location for future use.
