Frequently Asked Questions
How does the JSON to XML conversion handle attributes?
When converting JSON to XML, keys with a configurable prefix (such as @, _, or attr:) are treated as XML attributes rather than child elements. This allows you to control which properties become attributes in the output XML.
How do I switch between JSON to XML and XML to JSON conversion?
Use the direction tabs at the top of the editor. Click JSON → XML to convert JSON input into XML output, or XML → JSON to parse XML input and produce JSON output. The options panel changes accordingly.
Can I customize the root element name when converting JSON to XML?
Yes, you can specify a custom root element name in the options panel. The default root element name is 'root', but you can change it to any valid XML element name.
Does the converter preserve XML namespaces?
When converting XML to JSON, you can optionally preserve namespace information by enabling the 'Keep Namespaces' option. By default, namespaces are stripped for cleaner JSON output.
Is my data safe when using the JSON ⟷ XML Converter?
Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, ensuring your information remains completely private and secure.
