FAQ
How does the converter translate JSON keys to XML elements? The engine maps JSON objects into nested XML tags named after each key. Array items become repeating <item> elements under their parent tag, and the whole document is wrapped in a standard <root> element to keep it valid XML.
Can I convert XML back to JSON? Yes, we support bidirectional data conversion. You can convert your XML files back to JSON easily using the target format menu.
Is my data secure? Absolutely. Formatly operates on secure cloud servers. All files are automatically deleted after exactly 1 hour. No signups or data tracking are active.
