XML to NDJSON Converter

Extract repeating records and elements from XML documents into compact Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON / JSONL) streams.

At a glance

XML to NDJSON Converter is a free web tool that converts XML documents and repeating records into Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON / JSONL) streams. It automatically detects repeating record structures (e.g., <item>, <record>, <transaction>) under root. Automatically casts numeric strings and boolean flags into native JSON types. All processing is local: nothing is uploaded, and no account is required.

About XML to NDJSON Conversion

Newline Delimited JSON (NDJSON / JSONL) is an essential streaming format for big data architectures, log processors, and AI training pipelines. XML is widely used in legacy systems, financial feeds, and enterprise web services. Converting nested XML records into individual JSON lines unlocks instant compatibility with modern cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Elasticsearch.

Smart Repeating Node Detection

Leave the Target Element as auto to automatically identify repeating child nodes inside root containers, RSS channels, or collections. Or specify any exact element name to target specific records.

Flexible Attribute Handling

Choose whether XML attributes are prefixed with @ (following standard XPath and XML-to-JSON conventions), merged directly as normal JSON object keys, or completely ignored.

How to Use XML to NDJSON Converter

1

Paste XML or Load Preset

Paste your XML markup into the left editor or choose from the built-in domain presets (Transactions, RSS Feed, User Catalog).

2

Select Target Element & Options

Choose your target element (auto or custom tag like item), attribute handling mode, and type coercion toggle.

3

Copy or Download NDJSON

Inspect the generated NDJSON stream in the right viewer, copy it to your clipboard, or download it as an .ndjson file.

RSS Channel Items XML to Streaming NDJSON

Extracts repeating <item> elements from the XML channel into clean, streaming JSON lines with type-coerced integers and booleans.

XML Document Source
<rss version="2.0"><channel><item><id>1</id><title>First Post</title><active>true</active></item><item><id>2</id><title>Second Post</title><active>false</active></item></channel></rss>
Generated NDJSON Output Processed
{"id":1,"title":"First Post","active":true}
{"id":2,"title":"Second Post","active":false}

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my XML data kept private when converting?
Yes. All XML parsing and NDJSON serialization occur entirely inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to any server.
How does the tool know which XML element to convert into records?
By default (auto mode), the engine inspects the root element and detects repeating child tags (e.g. <transaction>, <item>, <user>). You can also specify an exact tag name.
How are XML attributes handled in the resulting JSON?
You can choose between three modes: Prefix with @ (e.g., @id: 101), Merge directly (id: 101), or Ignore attributes to discard them.
Can I convert large XML files?
Yes. Because conversion runs locally in your browser memory, it can handle multi-megabyte XML files quickly without network latency or server timeouts.
What is the difference between NDJSON and standard JSON?
NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON or JSON Lines) contains one valid JSON object per line separated by newlines, making it ideal for streaming, log aggregation, and large datasets without memory-heavy bracketed arrays.
