Translate XML payloads into clipboard-friendly JSON

SOAP, RSS or sitemap chunks become REST-friendly structures with toast-safe error reporting.

Explains duplicate-tag collapsing for engineers comparing against legacy dropdown output.

Developer notes

• Mixed-content nodes flatten per xmlToJson() parity rules. • Pretty printing is clipboard-only. • Validate consuming JSON schemas before production.

When teams pick this route

• Front-end mocking fetch() payloads from SOAP exports. • Platform squads diffing configs before REST cutovers. • SRE exploratory tooling.

About these options

CSV exports: choose a delimiter (Auto follows locale — semicolon on /fr), RFC-minimal vs always-quoted fields, line endings, and whether to emit a header row. CSV imports: delimiter + whether row 1 holds column names (Auto delimiter follows locale only for convenience). JSON output (XML, YAML, or CSV sources): indentation (including compact one-line) and optional recursive key sort. JSON → XML: toggle pretty-printing and indent width. YAML output: indent width, readable vs tighter layout, and deterministic string quoting (there is no source YAML file to “preserve”). XML comments are not represented in the intermediate JSON tree.

Worked examples

Attributes lift into JSON fields next to nested text

Sample input

<config env="staging"> <database> <host>db.internal</host> <port>5432</port> </database> </config>

Sample output

{ "config": { "env": "staging", "database": { "host": "db.internal", "port": "5432" } } }

Repeating tags collapse into arrays

Sample input

<fleet region="EU"> <node id="a1"/> <node id="a2"/> <note>shuffle OK</note> </fleet>

Sample output

{ "fleet": { "region": "EU", "node": [ { "id": "a1" }, { "id": "a2" } ], "note": "shuffle OK" } }

XML → JSON FAQ

Browser parsing

Different from xmllint?

This uses DOMParser — great for snippets, less ideal for gigabyte dumps.

XSD enforcement?

Structural validity only.

CDATA preserved?

Text nodes remain with equivalent content — inspect JSON consumers.

Why quote differences?

Copy/paste then run through your formatter as needed.
