JSON and XML, both are well-known structured formats that are vastly used by developers to transmit data. There are many requirements where, as a programmer, we need the conversion between JSON and XML data formats. In this article, you will learn how to convert JSON data into XML format using C#.
The following topics are covered below:
.NET API for JSON and XML Conversion
GroupDocs.Conversion provides a .NET API that allows automating the conversion of different documents, images, and other file formats into one another. I am using the same API here to convert JSON files into XML format using C#. Along with the JSON and XML conversion, the API supports many other back and forth conversions like word-processing documents, presentations, eBooks, JPG, PNG, WebP, and many more. You can see the details on the documentation.
You can download the DLLs or MSI installer from the downloads section or install the API in your .NET application via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package GroupDocs.Conversion

- Load the JSON data file using Converter class.
- Use the DataConvertOptions to set the conversion format to XML.
- Call the Convert method of Converter class to transform the JSON Data into XML format
The following code converts the JSON data into XML format using C#.
