What is JSON to XML Conversion?

JSON to XML conversion transforms JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data into XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. This is useful when integrating systems that use different data formats, working with legacy XML APIs, or when XML is required for configuration files, data exchange, or document storage.

FAQ

How are JSON arrays converted to XML?

JSON arrays are converted to repeated <item> elements within a parent element. For example, [1, 2, 3] becomes <item>1</item><item>2</item><item>3</item>.

Can I customize the root element name?

Yes, you can set a custom root element name using the input field above the JSON panel. The default is 'root'. Only valid XML element names are accepted.

How are special characters handled?

Special XML characters like &, <, >, quotes are automatically escaped to their XML entity equivalents (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, &apos;) to ensure valid XML output.
