XML to JSON Converter

Indent

This setting governs whether or not the output is indented. The indented output is easier for humans to comprehend. On the other hand, a non-indented output is compact & smaller in size (best for transmission). So, JSON is often minified which compacts & compresses the output by removing non-essential whitespace.

Indentation On

{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 69
}

Indentation Off

{"name":"John Doe","age":69}
