Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes represented in the JSON?
As keys prefixed with @, e.g. an id="1" attribute becomes "@id": "1".
What happens to repeated sibling tags?
They're combined into a JSON array under that tag's key.
What happens to text that sits alongside child elements (mixed content)?
It's dropped — only attributes and child elements are captured when a tag has both, so this tool suits data-style XML best rather than mixed-content documents like XHTML.
What happens if my XML is malformed?
An "Invalid XML" error is shown since the browser's XML parser rejects it outright; fix issues like unclosed or mismatched tags before converting.
Are XML namespace prefixes preserved in the resulting JSON keys?
Yes, tag names keep their namespace prefix exactly as written — e.g. <ns:item> becomes an "ns:item" key — the tool doesn't resolve or strip namespaces.
