What is TOON to XML Converter?
Need to convert your TOON format (Token-Oriented Object Notation) data to XML format? This tool converts TOON to XML instantly. Perfect for integrating with systems that require XML, working with SOAP APIs, or using XML-based configuration files.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is widely used for data exchange, configuration files, and web services. Our converter decodes your TOON data and transforms it into well-formed XML with proper structure, escaping, and formatting. Arrays become XML elements, objects become nested tags, and values are properly escaped.
Everything happens in your browser – your data stays private. You can also validate your TOON first using our TOON Validator or convert it to JSON with our TOON to JSON converter.
What Makes This Tool Different
Well-Formed XML
Generates valid, well-formed XML that follows XML standards. Proper nesting, closing tags, and structure ensure compatibility with any XML parser or tool.
Proper Escaping
Ampersands and angle brackets in your values are escaped as XML entities, so text like Tom & Jerry can't break the document.
Pretty Formatting
The XML output is beautifully formatted with proper indentation (2 spaces) and line breaks. Easy to read, easy to debug, ready to use.
File Upload Support
Got a TOON file? Hit Upload and pick a .toon or .txt file instead of copy-pasting.
Download XML
One click to download your converted XML as a .xml file. Perfect for saving, sharing, or importing into XML-compatible systems.
Handles All Types
Supports arrays, objects, nested structures, primitives, and mixed data types. Converts everything from simple values to complex hierarchical data.
How It Works
Paste or Upload TOON
Paste your TOON data into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. You can also click "Sample" to see example TOON format. The tool accepts any valid TOON structure.
Automatic Conversion
As soon as you paste, the converter processes your TOON and displays the converted XML on the right. Arrays become XML elements, objects become nested tags, and values are properly escaped.
Copy or Download
"Copy" sends the XML to the clipboard, and "Download" writes it out as a .xml file. The output is indented and well-formed, so anything that reads XML can take it directly.
When You'd Actually Use This
SOAP APIs
Working with SOAP web services that require XML? Convert your TOON data to XML format for seamless integration with SOAP APIs and XML-based web services.
Configuration Files
Many applications use XML for configuration files. Convert TOON data to XML for use in XML-based config systems, build tools, or deployment configurations.
Data Exchange
Exchanging data with systems that only accept XML? Convert TOON to XML for universal compatibility. XML is widely supported across different platforms and languages.
Legacy Systems
Integrating with legacy systems that require XML format? Convert TOON data to XML for compatibility with older systems, databases, or enterprise applications.
Common Questions
Is my TOON data stored?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript and the @toon-format/toon library. Your data never leaves your computer.
What TOON formats are supported?
We support all valid TOON formats according to the TOON specification. Arrays, objects, tabular data, nested structures, primitives – everything the @toon-format/toon library decodes, with comma, tab or pipe delimiters. Long integers keep every digit in the XML text.
Is the XML valid?
It's well-formed: there's always exactly one <root>, a TOON document that is a list becomes <item> children of it, and keys that aren't legal XML names are fixed up (first name becomes first_name, 2fa becomes _2fa). Check it in our XML Validator if you want a second look.
How are special characters handled?
&, < and > in your values are written as XML entities, and control characters XML 1.0 doesn't allow are dropped. Quotes and apostrophes don't need escaping in element text, so they're left as they are.
Can I convert XML back to TOON?
Yes. First convert XML to JSON using our XML to JSON converter, then convert JSON to TOON using our JSON to TOON converter.
Does it work with large datasets?
Yes. Since everything happens in your browser using JavaScript, it depends on your device. Small files convert instantly. Very large files might take a few seconds, but they'll still work per XML standards.
