Introducing JSON to XML | Tools.Town Blog

JSON to XML is now live on Tools.Town — a developer tool that converts JSON objects and arrays to valid, well-formed XML, with configurable root element names, optional attribute generation, and instant copy.

Bridge the gap between modern JSON APIs and legacy systems or configurations that require XML.

What Does It Do?

JSON → XML

Converts any JSON object or array to properly structured, indented, valid XML.

Configuration

Set the root element name, array item tag names, and whether to use attributes or child elements.

Valid Output

Output includes an XML declaration and correct escaping of special characters (<, >, &, quotes).

JSON and XML represent data differently — conversion is lossy for some structures. The tool highlights any ambiguities in the conversion.

How It Works

Paste JSON

Paste your JSON object or array. Syntax errors are highlighted immediately.

→

Configure output

Set the root element name and array item tag. Toggle attributes mode if needed.

→

Copy XML

Click Copy to grab the formatted XML, ready to paste into your config or API call.

Why We Built It

REST APIs speak JSON. SOAP services, many enterprise integrations, configuration files (Maven, Spring, Android), and some data pipelines still expect XML. JSON to XML handles the translation without writing a custom transformation script every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are JSON arrays converted to XML?

Each array element becomes a child element with a configurable tag name (default: 'item'). You can set a custom element name for each array in the options.

Can JSON properties become XML attributes?

Yes. Toggle 'Properties as attributes' to convert certain JSON keys to XML attributes rather than child elements — useful for generating compact XML.

Is the output valid XML?

Yes. The tool generates well-formed XML with a proper declaration and handles special characters (e.g. <, >, &) with correct XML escaping.
