About this tool
Parse an XML document and see what it actually produces — resolved values, types and a breakdown of the structure.
When you would use it
- Checking how a value is interpreted
- Counting elements before processing a document
- Confirming a document parses at all
Worked example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user id="4815">
<name>Ada Lovelace</name>
<active>true</active>
<score>91.5</score>
<roles>
<role>admin</role>
<role>editor</role>
</roles>
</user>
{
"user": {
"@id": 4815,
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"active": true,
"score": 91.5,
"roles": {
"role": [
"admin",
"editor"
]
}
}
}
Things worth knowing
- Parsing reports structure and types as XML defines them.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is the difference between parsing and validating?
Validation tells you whether the document is well-formed. Parsing shows you the value it produces, which is where surprises like unexpected type coercion show up.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Every tool on JSONWorks runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input is never sent to a server, never logged and never stored. The simplest proof is to disconnect from the internet — the tools keep working. The site does load Google Fonts and a Google Analytics page-view tag, so you will see those two requests in your network tab, but neither receives anything you type or paste.
Does it work offline?
Yes. JSONWorks is installable as a progressive web app and caches itself on first visit, so every tool keeps working without a connection.
