How to convert XML to JSON:
1. Click the "Choose Files" button to select multiple files from your local device, or click the "URL" button to choose an online file.
2. Choose a target document format. The target document format can be PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, HTML, TXT, CSV, RTF, ODT, ODS, ODP, XPS, or OXPS. Note that each target format can only be converted from certain source formats. For example, it can convert DOC to DOCX, but it cannot convert DOC to XLSX. When choosing a target format, the available source formats that can be converted to it will be listed.
3. Click the "Convert Now!" button to start batch conversion. The output files will be listed in the "Conversion Results" section. Click the icon to show the file QR code or save the file to cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.
XML vs JSON:
| Name | XML | JSON |
| Full name | Extensible Markup Language | JavaScript Object Notation |
| File extension | .xml | .json |
| MIME | application/xml, text/xml | application/json |
| Developed by | World Wide Web Consortium | json.org |
| Type of format | Markup language | Data interchange |
| Introduction | In computing, Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability across the Internet. | In computing, JavaScript Object Notation or JSON is an open-standard file format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs and array data types (or any other serializable value). |
| Technical details | XML is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages, while programmers have developed many application programming interfaces (APIs) to aid the processing of XML data. | JSON is a very common data format used for asynchronous browser-server communication, including as a replacement for XML in some AJAX-style systems. JSON is a language-independent data format. It was derived from JavaScript, but as of 2017 many programming languages include code to generate and parse JSON-format data. |
