Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JSON and XML?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format that uses key-value pairs and is easy to read for both humans and machines. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that uses tags to define data structure. JSON is typically more compact and easier to parse, while XML supports attributes, namespaces, and is more expressive for complex documents.

How do I convert JSON to XML?

To convert JSON to XML, select the 'JSON to XML' mode, paste or upload your JSON data, and click the Convert button. The tool will validate your JSON syntax and generate properly formatted XML output. You can then copy the result or download it as an XML file.

Can I convert XML back to JSON?

Yes! Simply select the 'XML to JSON' mode, input your XML data, and click Convert. The tool supports bidirectional conversion, and you can even use the Swap button to quickly reverse the conversion direction with your existing data.

Does the converter preserve XML attributes?

Yes, the converter handles XML attributes properly during conversion. When converting XML to JSON, attributes are preserved in the JSON structure. When converting JSON to XML, the tool intelligently handles both element content and attributes.

Can I beautify JSON or XML without converting?

Absolutely! The tool includes a Beautify tab that allows you to format and prettify your JSON or XML data without converting between formats. This is useful for making minified or poorly formatted data more readable.

How does the tool handle nested objects and arrays?

The converter properly handles complex nested structures including objects within objects, arrays, and mixed data types. It preserves the hierarchical structure during conversion, ensuring data integrity is maintained regardless of nesting depth.

Is my data secure when using this converter?

Yes, all conversion, validation, and beautification operations are performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is uploaded to our servers or transmitted anywhere. Your files remain completely private and secure on your device.

Can I upload files for conversion?

Yes! You can upload JSON or XML files using the Upload File button. The tool will automatically detect the file type and load the content into the input area. After conversion, you can download the result in the target format.
