WSDL to JSON

This WSDL to JSON tool is designed to solve that specific friction point. It parses the strict hierarchy of your WSDL code—including definitions, messages, port types, and bindings—and intelligently maps them into a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.

How to Use This Tool

Using this converter is straightforward. We’ve designed the interface to be distraction-free so you can get your code and get back to work.

1. Input Your Data:
   • Paste Code: Simply copy your WSDL (XML) code and paste it into the top text box.
   • Upload File: If you have a .wsdl or .xml file saved locally, click the “Upload File” button to load it directly.
2. Convert: Click the blue “Convert WSDL to JSON” button. The tool will process the tags and hierarchy instantly.
3. View and Copy: Your converted code will appear in the “JSON Output” box below. You can copy this text to your clipboard and use it immediately in your application.
4. Reset: If you need to start over, just hit the “Clear” button to empty the input fields.

Example

To give you an idea of how the transformation works, here is a simple comparison.

Input (WSDL/XML):

XML

<definitions name="StockQuote" targetNamespace="http://example.com/stockquote">
    <portType name="StockQuotePort">
        <operation name="GetLastTradePrice">
           <input message="tns:GetLastTradePriceInput"/>
        </operation>
    </portType>
</definitions>

Output (JSON):

JSON

{
  "definitions": {
    "@attributes": {
      "name": "StockQuote",
      "targetNamespace": "http://example.com/stockquote"
    },
    "portType": {
      "@attributes": {
        "name": "StockQuotePort"
      },
      "operation": {
        "@attributes": {
          "name": "GetLastTradePrice"
        },
        "input": {
          "@attributes": {
            "message": "tns:GetLastTradePriceInput"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is WSDL and why convert it?

WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language. It is an XML-based language used to describe the functionality offered by a web service (SOAP). Developers convert it to JSON because JSON is lighter, faster to parse, and is the native data format for JavaScript and modern web APIs.

Is my WSDL data secure on this tool?

Yes. We prioritize user privacy. The conversion process runs automatically, and we do not store, save, or share the code you paste or the files you upload. Once you close or refresh the page, the data is gone.

Can I convert WSDL 2.0 files?

Yes, since WSDL 2.0 is valid XML, this tool will successfully parse the structure into JSON. However, the resulting JSON hierarchy will reflect the specific tag structure of WSDL 2.0.

What happens to the XML Namespaces during conversion?

Namespaces (like xmlns:tns) are treated as attributes. In the resulting JSON, you will typically find them inside an @attributes object associated with the parent tag, preserving the context of the data.
