Overview

Convert JSON to XML and XML to JSON in either direction with the JSON / XML Converter. Paste your content, pass a whole list, or fetch it from a URL — the converter auto-detects the format, preserves attributes, and pretty-prints the result. Download each conversion as a ready file or as inline data in JSON, CSV or Excel.

Perfect for API and webhook integrations, SOAP and legacy systems, RSS/Atom feeds, config-file conversion and data-pipeline glue in n8n, Make and Zapier, it turns one format into the other with zero code.

What it does

🔄 Both directions — JSON → XML and XML → JSON.
🧭 Auto-detect — figures out whether your input is JSON or XML and converts the other way.
🏷️ Keeps attributes — XML attributes map to JSON keys (and back) using a configurable prefix.
✨ Pretty-print — clean, indented output that's easy to read and diff.
📚 Batch & URL — convert one document, a list of documents, or fetch a document from a URL.
📎 File + inline output — each result is saved as a downloadable file and (when small) included inline in the dataset.
📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV or Excel, or wire the output field into the next step of an automation.

Example

XML in

<catalog><book id="1"><title>Node</title><price>29.99</price></book></catalog>

JSON out

{ "catalog": { "book": { "title": "Node", "price": 29.99, "@_id": 1 } } }

How to use it

Paste your content (or add a list, or a URL to fetch).
Choose a direction — Auto, JSON → XML, or XML → JSON.
Optionally set pretty-print, a root element name (for arrays), and the attribute prefix.
Run, and download the converted file or read it from the results.

Input fields

Field	Description
Content	The JSON or XML to convert.
Multiple documents	Optional list of documents to convert in one run.
Fetch from URL	Optional URL to a JSON/XML document.
Direction	Auto-detect, JSON → XML, or XML → JSON.
Pretty-print	Indent the output.
Root element name	Wrapper name when JSON has no single root (e.g. an array).
Attribute prefix	JSON keys with this prefix become XML attributes (default `@_`).

Output fields

index, ok, from, to, bytesIn, bytesOut, error, fileKey, fileUrl, output (inline for small results).

Popular use cases

API integration — bridge a JSON service to an XML/SOAP endpoint or vice versa.
Feed processing — turn RSS/Atom XML into JSON for downstream steps.
Config conversion — move between JSON and XML configuration formats.
Legacy systems — adapt modern JSON payloads to XML-only backends.
Automation glue — a conversion step inside an n8n, Make or Zapier workflow.

FAQ

Do I need an account or key? No. Paste your content and run.

Are XML attributes preserved? Yes — attributes convert to JSON keys prefixed with @_ (configurable) and back to attributes on the return trip.

Can I convert many documents at once? Yes — add a list of documents and each is converted independently, with its own downloadable file.

Where does the converted file go? Each conversion is saved to the run's storage with a direct download link in the results; small results are also included inline.

Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets? Yes — the results table downloads as JSON, CSV or Excel and integrates with Sheets and automation tools.

Convert JSON ↔ XML both ways — attributes preserved, auto-detected, pretty-printed and export-ready for APIs, feeds and automation.
