How to use

1. Paste your JSON into the INPUT pane.
2. Set the root element name in the text field (default is root).
3. Click Convert.
4. Download the .xml file or copy the output.

How it works

The converter walks your JSON recursively and produces an XML element for each value:

• Objects — each key becomes a child element. The object itself is wrapped in its parent element name (or the root tag at the top level).
• Arrays — each array element is wrapped in a repeated element using the array's key name. For example, {"users": ["Alice", "Bob"]} produces <users>Alice</users><users>Bob</users> — not <item> tags.
• Primitives — strings, numbers, and booleans become the text content of their element.

Limitations to be aware of:

• No attribute support. All JSON values become element text content or child elements — there is no way to produce XML attributes from JSON input.
• No XML escaping. Special characters in string values (&, <, >, ", ') are not escaped. If your JSON strings contain these characters, the output will be invalid XML. Escape them manually before converting.
• No namespace support. Namespace declarations and prefixes are not generated.

Common use cases: preparing JSON data for an XML-based API or legacy system integration; converting configuration data to XML format; quick inspection of how a JSON structure maps to XML.
