What Is JSON to XML Conversion?
JSON to XML conversion transforms data from JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) into XML (eXtensible Markup Language). While JSON has become the dominant format for web APIs, many enterprise systems, legacy applications, and industry standards still require XML. ZourTools JSON to XML Converter bridges this gap, allowing you to convert modern JSON data into properly structured XML markup.
Why Convert JSON to XML?
Many enterprise systems and industry standards require XML. SOAP web services, RSS feeds, configuration files, and document formats like SVG and XHTML all use XML. When integrating with these systems, converting JSON data to XML becomes necessary. XML also offers features JSON lacks—such as attributes, namespaces, and schema validation—which some applications require.

How JSON Maps to XML
Objects to Elements
JSON object keys become XML element names. Nested objects become nested elements, preserving the hierarchy.
Arrays to Repeated Elements
JSON arrays become repeated XML elements with the same tag name. You can customize this tag name in the conversion options.
Values to Text Content
String, number, and boolean values become text content within XML elements.
Special Characters
Characters like <, >, and & are properly escaped in the XML output.
Common Use Cases
Legacy System Integration
Connect modern JSON-based applications with legacy XML systems.
SOAP API Integration
Convert JSON data to XML for SOAP web service requests.
Configuration Files
Generate XML configuration files from JSON data.
Document Generation
Create XML-based documents like SVG, RSS, or custom formats from JSON data.

Yes, our converter handles JSON of any nesting depth.
What happens to null values?
Null values become empty XML elements or are omitted, depending on the context.
