FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about xml to json converter.
How are XML attributes represented in JSON?
Attributes keep an @ prefix, for example @id, so they are never confused with child elements, and repeated elements become JSON arrays.
How is mixed text handled?
Elements that contain both text and children store the text under a #text key, so no content is lost when converting XML to JSON.
Is there a nesting limit?
Yes, for safety the conversion is limited to 8 levels of nesting; deeper structures are collapsed to their text content in XML to JSON mode.
Can I convert JSON back to XML?
Yes. The tool works in both directions: @ keys become attributes, #text becomes element text, and arrays repeat the element name for each item.
Why did my conversion fail?
XML to JSON requires valid XML and reports 'Invalid XML — the document could not be parsed', while JSON to XML requires an object root, not an array or a primitive.
