Convert RSS Feed XML to JSON Online Free
Overview
RSS feeds are XML-based and need an XML parser to consume in JavaScript. Converting to JSON produces a structure you can iterate with standard array methods without importing an XML parsing library. Useful for prototyping news aggregators or podcast apps.
How to Use This Tool
Paste your RSS or Atom feed XML. Click Convert to JSON. The feed channel metadata (title, description, link) maps to top-level keys. Individual items or entries become JSON objects in an array.

Do RSS and Atom feeds convert differently?
RSS 2.0 uses item elements; Atom uses entry elements. The converter handles both and maps them to an items or entries array in JSON respectively.
What does an RSS item look like after JSON conversion?
A typical RSS item with title, link, description, and pubDate fields becomes a JSON object: {title: '...', link: '...', description: '...', pubDate: '...'}. CDATA content is extracted as plain text.
Can I convert the JSON RSS feed back to XML?
Yes. The converter supports bidirectional conversion. Paste the JSON and select XML output to regenerate the RSS-structured XML.
