XML to JSON is a simple tool for converting XML to JSON. It returns the JSON representation of the XML provided.

The XML to JSON API provides reliable and fast access to xml to json data through a simple REST interface. Built for developers who need consistent, high-quality results with minimal setup time.

To use XML to JSON, you need an API key. You can get one by creating a free account and visiting your dashboard.

Code Examples

Here are examples of how to call the XML to JSON API in different programming languages:

cURL Request

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/xmltojson" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "xml": "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<note>\n  <to>Tove</to>\n  <from>Jani</from>\n  <heading>Reminder</heading>\n  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>\n</note>"
}'

JavaScript (Fetch API)

const response = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/xmltojson', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key_here',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "xml": "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<note>\n  <to>Tove</to>\n  <from>Jani</from>\n  <heading>Reminder</heading>\n  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>\n</note>"

All API responses follow a consistent structure with the following fields:

Field	Type	Description	Example
`status`	string	Indicates whether the request was successful ("ok") or failed ("error")	`ok`
`error`	string \| null	Contains error message if status is "error", otherwise null	`null`
`data`	object \| null	Contains the API response data if successful, otherwise null	`{...}`

Response Data Fields

When the request is successful, the data object contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Sample Value
`note`	object	`{...}`
[ ] Array items:	array[4]	`Array of objects`
└ `to`	object	`{...}`
└ `content`	string	`"Tove"`

Headers

Required and optional headers for XML to JSON API requests:

Header Name	Required	Example Value	Description
`X-API-Key`	`required`	`your_api_key_here`	Your APIVerve API key. Found in your dashboard under API Keys.
`Accept`	`optional`	`application/json`	Specify response format: application/json (default), application/xml, or application/yaml
`User-Agent`	`optional`	`MyApp/1.0`	Identifies your application for analytics and debugging purposes

GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access XML to JSON through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the xml to json data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Test XML to JSON in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability and experiment with queries.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

GraphQL Endpoint

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

GraphQL Query Example

query {
  xmltojson(
    input: {
      xml: "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>
  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>"
    }
  ) {
    note {
      children
    }
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The XML to JSON API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call XML to JSON directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

CORS Header	Value	Description
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin`	`*`	Accepts requests from any origin
`Access-Control-Allow-Methods`	`*`	Accepts any HTTP method
`Access-Control-Allow-Headers`	`*`	Accepts any request headers

Browser Usage: You can call XML to JSON directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

XML to JSON API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all XML to JSON users.

Plan	Rate Limit	Description
Free	5 requests/min	Hard rate limit enforced - exceeding will return 429 errors
Starter	No Limit	Production ready - standard traffic priority
Pro	No Limit	Production ready - preferred traffic priority
Mega	No Limit	Production ready - highest traffic priority

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each XML to JSON response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum number of requests allowed per time window
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Number of requests remaining in the current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when the rate limit window resets

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, XML to JSON returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for XML to JSON:

Monitor the rate limit headers to track your XML to JSON usage (Free plan only)
Cache xml to json responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle XML to JSON performance

Note: XML to JSON rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using XML to JSON on Free tier.

Error Codes

The XML to JSON API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:

Code	Message	Description	Solution
`200`	`OK`	Request successful, data returned	No action needed - request was successful
`400`	`Bad Request`	Invalid request parameters or malformed request	Check required parameters and ensure values match expected formats
`401`	`Unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key	Include x-api-key header with valid API key from dashboard
`403`	`Forbidden`	API key lacks permission or insufficient credits	Check credit balance in dashboard or upgrade plan
`429`	`Too Many Requests`	Rate limit exceeded (Free: 5 req/min)	Implement request throttling or upgrade to paid plan
`500`	`Internal Server Error`	Server error occurred	Retry request after a few seconds, contact support if persists
`503`	`Service Unavailable`	API temporarily unavailable	Wait and retry, check status page for maintenance updates

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an API key for XML to JSON?

Sign up for a free account at dashboard.apiverve.com. Your API key will be automatically generated and available in your dashboard. The same key works for XML to JSON and all other APIVerve APIs. The free plan includes 1,000 credits plus a 500 credit bonus.

How many credits does XML to JSON cost?

Each successful XML to JSON API call consumes credits based on plan tier. Check the pricing section above for the exact credit cost. Failed requests and errors don't consume credits, so you only pay for successful xml to json lookups.

Can I use XML to JSON in production?

The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of XML to JSON, upgrade to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Mega) which includes commercial use rights, no attribution requirements, and guaranteed uptime SLAs. All paid plans are production-ready.

Can I use XML to JSON from a browser?

Yes! The XML to JSON API supports CORS with wildcard configuration, so you can call it directly from browser-based JavaScript without needing a proxy server. See the CORS section above for details.

What happens if I exceed my XML to JSON credit limit?

When you reach your monthly credit limit, XML to JSON API requests will return an error until you upgrade your plan or wait for the next billing cycle. You'll receive notifications at 80% and 95% usage to give you time to upgrade if needed.
