Guesses types for you
- Turns "007" into the number 7
- Drops the order of repeated elements
- Uploads your XML
No guessing, order kept
- Values stay strings, since XML has no types
- Repeated elements collapse into an array in their original order
- Parsed locally in your browser
Questions worth answering upfront.
No. Parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser. Your XML is never uploaded or stored.
Attributes are kept as keys prefixed with @, for example @id, so they don't collide with child element names.
Repeated child elements with the same name are collapsed into a JSON array, preserving their order.
No. XML has no types, so values are kept as strings to avoid guessing. Convert them in your code if you need numbers or booleans.
Yes. Every tool on DevUtilsNow is free to use with no account required.
In Python, json.dumps(xmltodict.parse(xml_text)) uses the same @ prefix for attributes as this tool. In C#, JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode from Newtonsoft.Json converts an XmlDocument. For a one-off document, paste it here.
