The formats
JSON and XML at a glance
What is a JSON file?
JSON is a text format for structured data made of objects, arrays, strings, numbers, and true or false values. It's the standard format for web APIs and config files, and every programming language can read it. Nested data doesn't map directly onto a flat table. It opens in any text editor, VS Code, browsers, and every programming language.
What is an XML file?
XML stores structured data as nested tags, similar to HTML. It's used in RSS feeds, sitemaps, office file formats, banking and government data exchange, and many older APIs. It's more verbose than JSON but supports attributes, namespaces, and validation schemas. It opens in any text editor, browsers, VS Code, Excel (by import), and every programming language.
Good to know
What changes when you convert JSON to XML
- XML attributes appear in JSON as keys that start with @, and text inside an element that also has attributes appears as #text.
- Very large files, in the hundreds of megabytes, may be slow, and the preview shows only the beginning.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this JSON to XML converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with open-source CSV, JSON, YAML, XML, and Excel libraries, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.
Can I paste JSON instead of uploading a file?
Yes. Paste JSON text onto the page and it's converted the same way. Nothing you paste leaves your browser.
Can I convert several JSON files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each XML file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers and phones.
What can open an XML file?
Any text editor, browsers, VS Code, Excel (by import), and every programming language.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and most computers handle files of a few hundred megabytes.
