This route is useful when the source XML is simple and your real goal is to inspect or reuse it as JSON. It helps with browser-side cleanup, fixture building, and quick structure checks where JSON is easier to read or feed into the next tool than raw tag markup.
The parser is intentionally limited. It removes the XML declaration, matches opening and closing tags recursively, and collapses repeated sibling tags into arrays. It ignores attributes, namespaces, self-closing tags, mixed content rules, and richer XML semantics.
The outer XML element stays as the top JSON key, nested child elements become nested objects, and repeated siblings turn into arrays. Text values remain strings, so a value like 30 or true is not guaranteed to be typed beyond its raw text form.
| Example | Value |
|---|---|
| Input | A simple XML snippet made of matching opening and closing tags. |
| Output | A JSON object that preserves the root element and groups repeated sibling tags into arrays. |
If the XML depends on attributes, namespaces, self-closing elements, or mixed content, this is no longer a safe browser xml to json case. The honest move is to switch to a fuller XML parser before carrying a misleading JSON structure downstream.
No. The current parser only understands simple paired element tags.
The converter preserves the outer element name as the top-level key.
They are grouped into arrays in the JSON output.
When the source XML relies on richer document features than plain nested tags and text nodes.
Convert simple tag-based XML to JSON without attributes, namespaces, or schema-aware parsing.
