About the XML <-> JSON Converter
This tool converts data between XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) formats. It utilizes the `fast-xml-parser` library, which allows for flexible conversion, including handling of attributes and arrays. You can convert XML documents to JSON objects and vice-versa.
Why Use This Tool?
Converting between XML and JSON is a common task when integrating different systems or APIs, as one system might use XML while another expects JSON. This tool provides a quick, client-side way to perform these conversions without needing server-side processing or complex scripting.
Example Use Cases
- Converting an XML feed from a legacy system into JSON for use in a modern web application.
- Transforming a JSON configuration object into an XML format required by another tool or service.
- Easily viewing XML data in a more JavaScript-friendly JSON structure, or vice-versa for systems expecting XML.
Pro Tips
- Validate First: Before converting, ensure your input XML is well-formed or your input JSON is valid. Invalid input will lead to conversion errors.
- Attribute Handling: The converter (using `fast-xml-parser` defaults) typically prefixes attribute names (e.g., with '@_') to distinguish them from child elements in the resulting JSON. Be aware of this when working with the converted JSON.
