About converting XML to JSON
This is a free online XML to JSON converter that runs entirely inside your browser, with no upload to a server and no account to create. XML encodes hierarchical data in verbose self-describing tags, and remains entrenched in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs and document standards. JSON is the default data-interchange format of the web: nested objects and arrays that every language parses natively, and humans can still read.
Converting XML to JSON is everyday plumbing work: an export from one system arrives in the wrong shape for the API, script or spreadsheet that has to consume it next.
Because every conversion runs on your own device through WebAssembly builds of the same open-source engines desktop tools use, there is no upload queue, no file-size cap imposed by a server, and no copy of your XML sitting in someone else's storage afterwards. That matters most for anything you would hesitate to hand to a third party - identity documents, contracts, medical scans, unreleased work, client material. It also means the converter keeps working with no network connection at all once the page has loaded.
XML to JSON is one of many routes available here. If a direct path between two formats does not exist, the converter automatically chains several conversions together to reach the one you asked for, so you can get from almost any input to almost any output in a single step.

- Check that "Convert to:" is set to JSON. It is already pre-selected on this page.
- Press Convert, then save the converted data file when it is ready.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this XML to JSON converter free?
- Yes, completely. There is no charge, no account, no watermark on the output and no daily conversion limit.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your XML file never leaves your device and nothing is stored anywhere after you close the tab.
- Is there a file size limit for XML to JSON conversion?
- There is no server-imposed limit, because there is no server involved. The practical ceiling is your own device's available memory, so very large files convert faster on a desktop than on a phone.
- Will the JSON output look the same as the XML original?
- JSON output preserves the content of your XML file. Formatting fidelity depends on how closely the two formats can represent the same structures - features one format supports and the other has no equivalent for cannot be carried across.
