Example
Input (XML)
<user>
<name>yutils</name>
<tags>
<tag>tools</tag>
<tag>dev</tag>
</tags>
</user>Output (JSON)
{
"user": {
"name": "yutils",
"tags": {
"tag": ["tools", "dev"]
}
}
}Note
Repeating tags (`<tag>`) become arrays. Attributes appear as `@_attr` (configurable). Round-trip conversion supported.
Usage / FAQ
When to use
- Feed legacy SOAP / RSS / sitemap.xml data into a JSON pipeline
- Convert JSON to XML for systems that still require XML (rare but real)
- Quickly inspect XML from Android, iOS, or older enterprise systems
- Cross-convert OpenAPI / AsyncAPI XML and JSON definitions
- Normalize scraped XML to JSON for downstream `jq` processing
FAQ
- Q.How are attributes represented?
- A.As keys prefixed with `@_` (e.g. `<a href="...">` becomes `{"a": {"@_href": "..."}}`). The prefix is configurable.
- Q.What if a repeating tag only appears once?
- A.By default it becomes a single object. Enable always-array mode if you want it forced into an array — downstream code stays consistent.
- Q.What about comments and CDATA?
- A.Dropped by default. Enable the preservation option to keep them as separate fields.
