I made this tool recently. JSON to XML converter online free.

Try: https://bit.ly/json-to-xml

Who would want to use XML over JSON though?

Omg why would you want to ????

If they added dtd or xsd style definitions to JSON that would be enough !

Which I bet anything would be very simplistic

Now let's convert all json files to xml in github and watch the world burn 😈

@ElectroArchiver podcast platform developers still use and maybe bloggers use. IDK who uses but people are searching for it... So, I made it.

@electrineer Ha ha xd :)

@electrineer hey
Love muffin
Is xpath supported by more than net ?

@AvatarOfKaine please stop calling me love anything.

A reminder that XML is an entirely different thing than JSON...

@electrineer ok sugar bum

@Marethyun It's ugly, however since it's 1:1 with JS objects, that makes it ok, though of course I would opt for something more readable for config files, like YAML or INI.

@Marethyun Well when you have an easy to parse format that is widely used on the internet, it will be easier to use it in other places as well.

It could be worse, imagine everything was xml.

@Marethyun I don't see how xml is better aside from having a defined structure and validation being part of the definition of it's proper use

I mean every last data value is tagged at the very least with one element
Js defines a field name and uses collection notation

Smaller footprint

JSON for quick and dirty stuff >>>>>>>

sqlite for much data but not enough for a real DB server >>>>>

TOML as config file format >>>>>>>

XML for feeds >>>>>>

@Marethyun note I mentioned type definitions

But if you're exchanging info in UTF-8 for most applications JSON is fine.

You can get super descriptive of data elements in xml so I could see the inclusion of an exhaustive series of attribute tags as a use of xml

But come on
Truthfully neither JSON or XML are good data formats

They're bloated

@Marethyun I mean you'd be better off using a packed data format for the major data sets and a variable string table arranged in a relational format tbh but xml and JSON are readable

XML barely

Cookies from google.. they dont taste good

@ElectroArchiver I had a vendor tell me on a call last week that soap is undervalued as a solution.

I laughed at him and told him to stay away from my projects.

Point is, there's always a schmuck.

@ElectroArchiver I dont really find either of those readable
JSON formats nicely

@ElectroArchiver he's arguing for XML lol
