Convert Android XML Resource Files to JSON
Overview
Migrating an Android app to React Native or importing localization strings into a translation tool requires converting Android's strings.xml to JSON. The converter maps each string element to a key-value pair in JSON, preserving the string name as the key.
How to Use This Tool
Paste your Android strings.xml file. Click Convert to JSON. Each <string name='key'>value</string> becomes a JSON key-value pair. Download the JSON for use in your React Native i18n configuration or translation platform.

How does strings.xml convert to JSON format?
Each <string name='app_name'>My App</string> becomes {app_name: 'My App'} in JSON. String arrays (<string-array>) become JSON arrays. Plural strings (<plurals>) become JSON objects with quantity keys.
Can I convert JSON back to Android strings.xml?
Yes. Paste a flat JSON object and select XML output. The converter generates strings.xml-compatible XML with each key-value pair wrapped in <string name='key'>value</string> tags.
Does the converter handle HTML entities in string values?
Yes. Android string resources can contain HTML entities like & and  . The converter decodes them into their character equivalents in the JSON output.
