Privacy details

JSON XML converter processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

JSON XML converter explained

Represent XML as an ordered JSON tree with name, attributes and children fields. Text and nested elements share the children array, so mixed content and repeated element names keep their order. The reverse direction accepts that same tree shape.

A worked example

<p>A<b>B</b>C</p> becomes a p node whose children are the text A, a b node and the text C. An attribute stays separate from the element’s text.

Before you use the result

Not an arbitrary object-to-XML convention. Comments, processing instructions and the XML declaration are omitted; CDATA becomes ordinary text. XML 1.0 only, with no DTD or external entities. The reverse mode requires the exact tree structure shown by the forward mode.
