JSON/XML Quick Reference

JSON to XML Mapping

JSON Structure	XML Equivalent
Objects: `{ "key": value }`	Elements: `<key>value</key>`
Arrays: `[ item1, item2 ]`	Repeated elements: `<item>value1</item><item>value2</item>`
String values: `"text"`	Element content: `<element>text</element>`
Number/boolean: `42, true`	Element content: `<element>42</element>`
Nested objects: `{"parent": {"child": "value"}}`	Nested elements: `<parent><child>value</child></parent>`
null values: `"key": null`	Empty element: `<key></key>` or `<key xsi:nil="true"/>`

Special Character Escaping

Character	XML Escape Sequence
< (less than)	<
> (greater than)	>
& (ampersand)	&
' (apostrophe)	'
" (quotation)	"

About JSON to XML Converter

A JSON to XML Converter is a tool that transforms JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data into XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. JSON and XML are both widely used for data exchange, but different systems and APIs may require one format over the other. Converting between these formats ensures compatibility across platforms, databases, and web services.

Developers, system integrators, and data analysts often need to convert JSON to XML when working with legacy systems, SOAP-based APIs, or structured data formats required by enterprise applications.

Core Capabilities

Automatic Conversion: Transforms JSON objects, arrays, and values into XML elements and attributes.
Preserves Data Structure: Maintains the hierarchy and relationships between JSON keys and values.
Supports Nested Objects: Converts deeply nested JSON structures into well-formed XML.
Customizable Formatting: Allows users to define XML attributes, indentation, and namespace settings.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works in web browsers and various operating systems without additional software.

Common Use Cases

Integrating JSON Data with XML-Based APIs

Some enterprise applications and SOAP-based services require XML, even if the data originates in JSON. Converting JSON to XML ensures seamless integration.

Example

JSON Input:

{ "customer": { "name": "Alice", "email": "[email protected]" } }

XML Output:

<customer> <name>Alice</name> <email>[email protected]</email> </customer>

Converting Web Application Data for XML-Based Systems

Many web applications use JSON for API communication, but some legacy systems still rely on XML. Converting JSON responses into XML allows interoperability between different services.

Example

JSON Input:

{
    "order": {
        "id": 12345,
        "items": [
            { "name": "Laptop", "price": 1200 },
            { "name": "Mouse", "price": 25 }
        ]
    }
}

XML Output:

<order>
    <id>12345</id>
    <items>
        <item>
            <name>Laptop</name>
            <price>1200</price>
        </item>
        <item>
            <name>Mouse</name>
            <price>25</price>
        </item>
    </items>
</order>

Data Migration and Interchange Between Systems

Businesses moving from JSON-based databases to XML-based storage solutions can use a conversion tool to facilitate smooth data migration.

Formatting JSON for XML Reports and Documentation

Some reporting tools and document processing systems accept XML but not JSON. Converting JSON into XML allows structured data to be used in reports, logs, and data visualization tools.

Troubleshooting & Best Practices

Validate JSON Before Conversion

Ensure the input JSON is properly formatted to prevent errors.

Check XML Schema Requirements

Some XML-based applications require specific schemas, so adjust the conversion settings accordingly.

Handle Arrays Properly

JSON arrays are converted into repeating XML elements. Verify that the output meets application requirements.

Escape Special Characters

Ensure characters like <, >, and & are correctly encoded in XML.
