JSON to XML
Convert JSON to XML format for legacy systems and SOAP APIs.
Example Conversion
JSON:
{
"person": {
"name": "John",
"age": 30
}
}
XML:
<person>
<name>John</name>
<age>30</age>
</person>
Online Tools
XML to JSON
Convert XML to JSON for modern web applications.
Considerations
- XML attributes vs JSON properties
- Handling mixed content
- Preserving structure
- Namespace handling
Online Tools
JSON to YAML
Convert JSON to YAML for more readable configuration files.
Example Conversion
JSON:
{
"database": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"credentials": {
"username": "admin",
"password": "secret"
}
}
}
YAML:
database:
host: localhost
port: 5432
credentials:
username: admin
password: secret
Online Tools
YAML to JSON
Convert YAML configuration to JSON for web applications.
Benefits
- Use YAML configs in JavaScript apps
- Validate YAML by converting to JSON
- API-compatible format
- Easier programmatic access
Online Tools
JSON to BSON
Convert JSON to Binary JSON for MongoDB and efficient storage.
About BSON
BSON (Binary JSON) is a binary representation of JSON-like documents:
- More compact than JSON
- Faster to parse
- Supports additional data types (Date, Binary, ObjectId)
- Used by MongoDB
Tools
- JSON-BSON Converter
- MongoDB Compass (built-in converter)
BSON to JSON
Convert BSON back to readable JSON format.
Use Cases
- Export MongoDB data
- Debug BSON files
- Data migration
- Human-readable backups
JSON to Excel
Convert JSON to Excel spreadsheet format.
Methods
- Via CSV: Convert to CSV first, then open in Excel
- Online Tools: Direct JSON to XLSX conversion
- Libraries: Use xlsx, ExcelJS in Node.js
- Power Query: Import JSON in Excel using Power Query
Online Tools
JSON to TypeScript
Generate TypeScript interfaces from JSON data.
Example
JSON:
{
"name": "John",
"age": 30,
"email": "[email protected]"
}
TypeScript Interface:
interface Root {
name: string;
age: number;
email: string;
}

Comparison Table
Conversion | Difficulty | Data Loss | Common Use |
---|---|---|---|
JSON ↔ CSV | Easy | Possible (nesting) | Spreadsheets, databases |
JSON ↔ XML | Medium | Minimal | Legacy systems, SOAP |
JSON ↔ YAML | Easy | None | Configuration files |
JSON ↔ BSON | Easy | None | MongoDB, performance |
JSON → TypeScript | Easy | N/A | Type generation |
JSON → Excel | Medium | Possible (nesting) | Reports, analysis |
Choosing the Right Format
- Use CSV: When you need spreadsheet compatibility or simple tabular data
- Use XML: For legacy systems, SOAP APIs, or when you need schema validation
- Use YAML: For human-edited configuration files
- Use BSON: For MongoDB or when you need binary efficiency
- Use JSON: For web APIs, modern applications, and JavaScript
Common Challenges
- Nested Structures: Not all formats support deep nesting
- Data Types: Some formats have limited type support
- Special Characters: Proper escaping is crucial
- Size Limits: Large files may need streaming
- Encoding: Always use UTF-8 for consistency
