Frequently Asked Questions

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) uses tags and attributes to describe data in a hierarchical tree structure, similar to HTML. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) represents data as key-value pairs and arrays using a compact syntax. JSON is generally preferred for web APIs because it is smaller, faster to parse, and maps directly to JavaScript objects. XML is still common in legacy enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, and document formats like RSS/Atom.

Use JSON when building REST APIs, browser applications, or mobile apps — it is lighter and natively supported in JavaScript. Use XML when working with SOAP web services, configuration files (Maven, Spring), document markup (XHTML, SVG, EPUB), or when you need namespace support, schemas (XSD), or XSLT transformations. Many enterprise and government systems still exchange data in XML.

When the "Include attributes" option is enabled, element attributes are stored under a special @attrs key within that element's object. For example, <user id="42" active="true"> becomes {"@attrs":{"id":"42","active":"true"},...}. Text content of an element is stored under #text. You can disable attribute inclusion to get a simpler output when you only need element content.
