XML to JSON conversion is the process of transforming data structured in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is lighter, easier to parse, and natively supported by JavaScript — making it the preferred format for modern web APIs and applications.
CodBolt's converter adds XML attributes directly as top-level properties in the JSON object — no special prefix like '@' is added. For example, <book id="101"> becomes { "id": 101, ... } in JSON. If an element has both attributes and text content, the text is stored under a "value" key.
Smart Array automatically detects when repeated child elements should be grouped into a JSON array. For example, if a parent tag is "books" and children are "book", they are automatically grouped as an array. It also recognizes collection patterns like "ProductList" or "UserArray" for cleaner output.
Yes. CodBolt supports direct XML file upload up to 100MB. Click the Upload button, select your .xml file, and it loads into the editor automatically. Your file is never sent to any server — all processing happens entirely in your browser.
Yes. After conversion, click the Download button to save the output as a .json file to your device. You can also use the Copy button to copy the JSON to your clipboard instantly.
CodBolt includes an auto-fix feature. If your XML has multiple root elements or minor structural issues, the tool automatically wraps it in a root element and retries parsing. If the XML is still invalid, a clear error message is shown describing the exact problem.
