Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes handled?

XML attributes are converted to a special '@attributes' object within each element, preserving all attribute data.

What happens with repeated XML elements?

Repeated elements with the same name are automatically converted to JSON arrays, maintaining the correct structure.

Can I convert JSON back to XML?

Yes! Use the toggle to switch direction. JSON objects with '@attributes' will be properly converted back to XML attributes.

Is there a file size limit?

Since everything runs in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Files up to 10MB typically work smoothly.
