💡 Paste your XML and it converts to JSON automatically. Attributes are prefixed with @ and text content uses #text.

Code Examples

Here's how to achieve this in different programming languages:

1// Using DOMParser (browser) or xml2js (Node.js)
2const xmlString = `<company>
3  <department>
4    <name>Engineering</name>
5    <employees>
6      <employee>John</employee>
7      <employee>Jane</employee>
8    </employees>
9  </department>
10</company>`;
11
12// Browser
13const parser = new DOMParser();
14const doc = parser.parseFromString(xmlString, 'text/xml');
15
16// Node.js with xml2js (npm install xml2js)
17const xml2js = require('xml2js');
18const parser = new xml2js.Parser();
19parser.parseString(xmlString, (err, result) => {
20  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
21});
22
23// Output:
24// {
25//   "company": {
26//     "department": {
27//       "name": "Engineering",
28//       "employees": {...
