JSON to XML

Convert JSON to XML using one fixed, documented convention: object keys prefixed with "@_" become attributes, "#text" becomes an element's text content, and repeated array items become repeated sibling elements. JSON and XML aren't structurally equivalent, so this tool doesn't pretend otherwise — it applies one predictable rule set.

Features

  • One documented, predictable mapping — not a best-effort guess
  • Attributes become "@_name" keys, text content becomes "#text" (or a plain string when an element has no attributes or children), and repeated sibling elements become a JSON array.

How to use

  1. Paste a JSON object into the input.
  2. Click Convert.
  3. Copy or download the resulting XML.

Example

Input

{"root":{"item":[{"@_id":"1","#text":"a"},{"@_id":"2","#text":"b"}]}}

Output

<root>
  <item id="1">a</item>
  <item id="2">b</item>
</root>

FAQ

Are JSON and XML directly equivalent?
No — XML has attributes and mixed text/element content that JSON has no native equivalent for, and JSON has no built-in way to say "this repeats as a sibling." This tool applies one fixed, documented mapping instead of pretending the two formats are interchangeable.
What happens to a JSON object with more than one top-level key?
It's automatically wrapped in a <root> element, since an XML document can only have one root element. If your JSON already has exactly one top-level key, that key becomes the root element directly.
