Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled?
By default, attributes are placed in an '_attributes' key on the element object. This can be configured.
What about XML namespaces?
Namespace prefixes are preserved in the key names (e.g. 'ns:element' becomes 'ns:element' in JSON).
Does it handle CDATA sections?
Yes. CDATA content is extracted and placed as the text value of the element.
Can I paste XML directly?
Yes. Use the 'Paste XML' tab for quick one-off conversions.
What about RSS and Atom feeds?
RSS and Atom files are valid XML and can be converted. Use this to parse feed data into JSON for further processing.
