What is XML?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a format for storing and transporting data. It uses custom tags to describe data structure, making it human-readable and widely supported. Unlike JSON, XML can include attributes on elements.
Why Convert XML to JSON?
- Smaller file size · JSON is more compact than XML.
- Web APIs · Most modern web services use JSON instead of XML.
- Easier parsing · JSON maps directly to JavaScript objects.
- Legacy system integration · Convert old XML data to modern JSON format.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes handled?
XML attributes are converted to JSON properties with an @ prefix (e.g., @id, @href). This preserves attribute information in the JSON structure.
What about namespaces?
Namespaces are preserved in the output. Prefixes are included in the element names (e.g., "ns:element").
