How are attributes represented?

As keys prefixed with @, so id="1" becomes "@id": "1".

What about repeated child elements?

They become a JSON array. A single child stays an object.

If the element also has children or attributes, text is stored as #text. If it is a leaf, the value is the text string itself.

Can I pretty-print first?

Use the XML formatter, then convert.

XML to JSON Converter

Convert XML to JSON locally. Attributes become @keys, text becomes #text. Nothing leaves the tab.

XML

{
  "catalog": {
    "book": {
      "@id": "1",
      "title": "Dune",
      "tags": {
        "tag": [
          "sf",
          "desert"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

How to use this tool

Paste XML with a single root element.
Copy the JSON object.
If you need a spreadsheet, send arrays of objects to JSON to CSV.

Worked example

The sample catalog has one book with id=1 and two tags. The JSON has @id and a tag array. That shape is boring on purpose so API dumps stay recognizable.
