How are repeating XML elements represented in JSON?

When multiple sibling XML tags share the same name (such as multiple tags), the parser automatically groups them into a JSON array ([...]).

Are XML attributes preserved during conversion?

Yes. When "Include attributes" is enabled, XML attributes (e.g. ) are preserved with an "@" prefix or merged cleanly into the JSON object.

Can I convert large XML or RSS feed files?

Yes. In-browser DOM parsing easily processes multi-megabyte XML feeds with high speed.

What happens if the XML has syntax errors?

The parser detects unclosed tags or syntax issues and provides clear error line indicators to help you fix the markup.

Is my XML payload stored or sent to a server?

No. Parsing occurs 100% locally within your browser using JavaScript. No XML code is ever sent over the network.
