XML will not parse
Invalid XML tags, unescaped characters, or copied fragments can stop JSON generation.
Open the source in a plain-text or spreadsheet view, fix the malformed row or bracket, then rerun the conversion before downloading JSON.

Common errors and fixes
JSON structure looks wrong
Repeated XML tags become arrays, while attributes are preserved as fields that may need cleanup.
Check the header row, repeated records, and nested fields in the preview. Rename unclear columns before using the converted file downstream.
JSON download is not accepted by another app
Scripts expecting a specific JSON shape may need field renaming after conversion.
Download again after checking the preview, then test the file in the destination app with a small sample before converting the full export.
When to use XML to JSON
- You are checking files before an upload, import, share, or delivery.
- You want to confirm the result before sending it to another system.
- You need a copied result, downloaded file, or report that can be reviewed outside the page.
