JSON to XML

Convert JSON to XML for legacy APIs, feeds, and document formats. Every key becomes an element and arrays become repeated elements. JSON has no attributes, so none are invented; the tool states this clearly rather than pretending the conversion is richer than it is.

Example

The tags array becomes repeated tag elements.

{
  "name": "json-utils",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": false,
  "tags": ["json", "tools"],
  "author": { "name": "Ada", "active": true },
  "score": 9.5,
  "notes": null
}

Frequently asked questions

How are arrays handled?

Each array item becomes its own element with the same name, the standard convention for JSON to XML.

Can keys become attributes?

Not automatically. Attribute mapping is ambiguous, so every key becomes an element. The XML to JSON tool reads attributes back as @_ keys.
