What is XML Stringify

Last reviewed: April 18, 2026

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a strict, tag-based format used for documents, SOAP APIs, RSS feeds, and many enterprise and publishing systems.

XML Stringify passes your XML document through JSON.stringify, producing a JSON-safe string literal with all required escapes applied.

It's a quick way to embed SOAP envelopes, SVG snippets, or Android XML fragments inside a JSON field without manually escaping anything.

Why use it

Embed XML in JSON API request bodies.
Pack SVG fragments into JSON design tokens.
Generate safe JSON fixtures from XML files.
Prepare XML snippets for webhook payloads.
Avoid manual escape errors when mixing formats.

Features

Wraps XML in a JSON-safe string literal
Escapes quotes, backslashes, newlines
Uses native JSON.stringify
Local-only XML Stringify processing keeps data in-browser
Ideal for embedding XML in JSON APIs

How to use XML Stringify

Paste XML. Drop the XML snippet.
Click Run. The tool wraps it in a JSON string literal.
Copy literal. Paste into your JSON payload.

Example (before/after)

XML

<note id="1">Hello</note>

JSON string literal

"<note id=\"1\">Hello</note>"

Common errors

Already escaped

Double-stringifying over-escapes quotes.

Fix: Decode with JSON Unstringify first.

Binary data

JSON can't hold raw binary.

Fix: Base64-encode any binary payloads inside the XML.

FAQ

Does it validate the XML?

No — it treats input as a raw string. Run XML Parser beforehand if validation is required.

How do I reverse it?

Use JSON Unstringify.

Does it change whitespace?

No — whitespace is preserved and escaped as-is.

Is input uploaded?

No — processing is client-side.

Does it handle CDATA?

Yes — CDATA blocks are escaped as regular string content.
