How to convert XML to JSON

  1. Add your XML files

    Drag one or more XML files onto the dashed area, or tap it to pick them from your device.

  2. Choose JSON and the options

    JSON is already selected; for CSV you can choose the separator.

  3. Convert and download

    Press “Convert to JSON”. When it’s done, download the files one by one or all together in a ZIP archive.

Good to know. Formulas are converted to their last calculated value.

XML

Extensible Markup Language

Data organised with tags similar to HTML. It underpins many exchanges between business systems, RSS feeds and e-invoicing formats.

Best for
Exchanging data between programs, imports into business software.
Limits
Verbose: for the same data it’s heavier than JSON and CSV.

Target format

JSON

JavaScript Object Notation

The format websites, apps and web services use to talk to each other: objects with names and values, even nested. Converting a table to JSON makes it ready for code.

Best for
Developers, APIs, imports into databases and apps.
Limits
For non-programmers it’s less convenient than a spreadsheet.

Questions about XML and JSON

What happens to multiple sheets?

Formats with several sheets (XLSX, ODS, HTML, PDF) keep them all; CSV and TSV hold only one: in the options you can choose to convert the first sheet or create one file per sheet.

Are my XML files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from XML to JSON happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
