XML ⇄ JSON Converter

Convert XML documents to JSON and back. The converter handles attributes (using @ prefixes), text content, CDATA sections, and nested elements. When converting XML to JSON, attributes become @-prefixed keys and element text becomes a #text key. The reverse conversion produces valid XML from JSON.

Frequently asked questions

1How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Attributes are prefixed with @ to distinguish them from child elements. For example, <item id="42">text</item> becomes {"item": {"@id": "42", "#text": "text"}}. This follows a common XML-to-JSON convention.

2Can it convert JSON back to XML?

Yes. The reverse conversion takes JSON with @-prefixed keys for attributes and #text for text content, and produces valid XML. This lets you round-trip data between the two formats.

3Does it handle XML namespaces?

Namespace prefixes are preserved in the JSON keys (e.g., ns:element becomes "ns:element" in JSON). The namespace declarations themselves are treated as attributes.
