Why Use This Tool
Modern applications prefer JSON, but many legacy systems, SOAP services, and data sources use XML. Converting XML to JSON enables processing with JavaScript and modern APIs.

Attributes become @attribute keys. Text content becomes the value or #text key. Repeated elements become arrays. CDATA sections are preserved as #cdata.
XML to JSON conversion transforms XML documents into JSON format. Elements become objects, attributes become properties (often prefixed with @), and text content becomes string values.
Modern applications prefer JSON, but many legacy systems, SOAP services, and data sources use XML. Converting XML to JSON enables processing with JavaScript and modern APIs.
Use XML to JSON when integrating legacy SOAP services, processing RSS/Atom feeds, importing XML data into modern applications, or converting configuration formats.
Common conventions prefix attributes with @ (@id, @class). Some converters use separate 'attributes' objects. Check the output format for your specific needs.
XML namespaces add complexity. Simple converters ignore or flatten namespaces. Complex XML may require preprocessing or namespace-aware conversion.
Yes. CipherKit supports bidirectional conversion. Note that XML features like attributes, comments, and processing instructions may not round-trip perfectly.
