How to convert XML to JSON
XML is an older data interchange format used heavily in enterprise systems, SOAP web services, RSS feeds, and configuration files. Modern APIs and JavaScript applications prefer JSON. Converting XML to JSON lets you work with XML data in modern tooling without XML parsers.
BoltConverter parses your XML file and converts it to a JSON representation on its servers. XML elements become JSON objects, attributes are mapped to properties, and text content is captured in value fields. The output JSON is formatted and ready to use in code or further processing.

XML parses to JSON on the server
The server parses the XML structure and converts elements, attributes, and text content to a JSON object.
Download or copy the JSON
Save the .json file or copy the formatted JSON output for use in your application.
Frequently asked questions
How are XML attributes handled in the JSON output?
XML attributes are typically converted to JSON properties prefixed with '@' or placed inside an attributes object, depending on the conversion convention used.
What happens with nested XML elements?
Nested XML elements become nested JSON objects. Elements that repeat at the same level are converted to arrays.
Can I convert an RSS feed XML to JSON?
Yes. RSS feeds are valid XML and convert to JSON with the channel, title, link, and item elements mapped to corresponding JSON fields.
Will XML namespaces be preserved?
Namespace prefixes are included in the property names in the JSON output. Namespace declarations may appear as properties or be omitted depending on the converter.
Is there a file size limit for XML files?
Very large XML files (tens of megabytes) may take longer to process. The file size limit is shown on the upload page. For very large XML datasets, consider splitting the file.
