About This Tool
Converts a JSON value into XML. Object keys become element names; arrays produce repeated elements. The top-level wrapper element is controlled by `root_element` (default: `root`).
Pretty-printing is available via the `pretty` flag; primitives are rendered as element text.
Why Use This Tool
- Legacy API integration — Convert JSON payloads into XML for SOAP-era APIs
- Feed generation — Build RSS/Atom-style feeds from JSON source
- Data interchange — Bridge JSON-native systems with XML consumers
- Document publishing — Render structured content as XML for downstream transforms
Frequently Asked Questions
How are array items named?
Each array element is wrapped in a singular-named element when possible, or in `<item>` otherwise.
Are attributes produced?
No — keys always become child elements. To control attribute serialization, post-process the XML.
What about special characters?
Text content is XML-escaped automatically (`<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`).
