Frequently Asked Questions

How are arrays handled in XML? expand_more

Each array element becomes a child element with the singularized key. For example "users": [{"name": "Ada"}] becomes <users><user><name>Ada</name></user></users>.

What characters are escaped? expand_more

The converter escapes &, <, >, ", and single quotes according to XML rules so the output is always well-formed.

Can I reverse the conversion? expand_more

Yes. Use [XML to JSON](/tools/xml-to-json/) to go back, or tidy the output with the [XML Formatter](/tools/xml-formatter/).

Are attributes supported? expand_more

No. JSON has no concept of attributes, so every value becomes an element. If you need attributes, edit the XML manually after conversion.

Is my data uploaded? expand_more

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser.
