Convertidor de XML a JSON

The Complete Guide to Converting XML to JSON: Data Formats for the Modern Web

XML and JSON are the two dominant data interchange formats on the web. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) dominated the 2000s through SOAP web services and RSS feeds. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) has largely replaced it for REST APIs due to its simplicity and native JavaScript compatibility. Our free XML to JSON converter bridges the two worlds instantly.

XML vs. JSON: Key Differences

• Verbosity: XML is significantly more verbose — the same data in XML is typically 2–3× larger than JSON
• Data types: JSON natively supports strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and null. XML represents everything as text.
• Attributes vs. nesting: XML can store metadata in attributes (<user id="1">); JSON only has key-value pairs and nesting
• Arrays: JSON has a native array type []; XML represents lists as repeated elements
• Schema: XML has robust schema validation (XSD, DTD); JSON Schema is less mature

When You Still Need XML

• SOAP web services (common in enterprise and government systems)
• RSS and Atom feed syndication
• SVG images (which are XML-based)
• Microsoft Office documents (DOCX, XLSX are zipped XML)
• Android layout files and manifests
• Configuration files (Maven pom.xml, Spring beans.xml)

JavaScript XML Parsing

In browsers, XML is parsed using the DOMParser API. In Node.js, popular libraries include fast-xml-parser, xml2js, and cheerio. Our tool uses DOMParser for fast, dependency-free client-side parsing.

For JSON formatting and validation, try our JSON Formatter. To compare two JSON structures, use our JSON Diff Checker.
