How to use this tool
Choose a direction and enter valid XML or JSON. Inspect how attributes, text and repeated elements are represented, and review namespace-heavy documents separately.
Results and examples
Repeated child elements can become an array in JSON. The reverse direction needs a suitable root name and may add a root element when the supplied JSON does not provide one.
Limitations
- Mixed-content ordering, namespaces and comments are not comprehensively preserved in a round trip.
- Validate generated element names and special characters with the final XML parser before use.
