What is RSS to JSON?

This rss to json converter fetches or parses an RSS/Atom feed and outputs it as clean JSON, so you can consume feed data in JavaScript without writing your own XML parsing logic. It's popular for developers building custom feed readers, news widgets, or content aggregators that need rss feed to json api style output. Paste a feed URL or raw XML and get structured JSON back.

Technical Execution

The tool parses the RSS or Atom XML structure, extracting standard fields like title, link, description, publish date, and item entries, then maps them into a consistent JSON schema with a top-level feed object and an array of item objects. This saves you from writing custom XML-parsing code for each feed's particular tag structure.

Zero Data Storage Guarantee

RSS feeds are typically public content, but if you're testing against an internal or authenticated feed URL, the parsing still happens using your browser's own request, not a third-party relay, so feed contents aren't logged by this tool.

How to Use RSS to JSON (Step-by-Step Guide)

Paste the RSS/Atom feed URL or raw XML content into the input
The tool fetches or parses the feed and extracts entries
Review the resulting JSON structure with feed metadata and items array
Adjust field mapping options if some tags weren't recognized
Copy the JSON output or use it directly in your application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this as an rss feed to json api for my app?

A: This tool is meant for ad hoc conversion in the browser; for a live production feed, you'd typically run your own server-side fetch and parse rather than depend on a browser tool.

Q: Does it support both RSS and Atom feed formats?

A: Yes, both common syndication formats are recognized, since they use similar structural elements like entries/items with title, link, and date fields.

Q: How do I convert rss to json online without a feed URL, just raw XML?

A: You can paste the raw feed XML directly into the input instead of a URL and get the same structured JSON output.

Q: Is this free to use?

A: Yes, completely free with no usage limits.

Q: What fields are included in the JSON output?

A: Typically the feed title, link, and description, plus an items array where each entry has its own title, link, publish date, and description/content.

Q: Does it handle feeds with custom or non-standard tags?

A: Standard RSS/Atom tags are recognized reliably; proprietary extension tags from a specific publisher may not be mapped unless commonly used.

Q: Can fetching a feed URL fail due to CORS restrictions?

A: Yes, some feed servers block cross-origin browser requests, in which case pasting the raw XML content directly is a reliable workaround.

Q: How is this different from a generic xml-to-json converter?

A: This tool understands RSS/Atom-specific structure and produces a cleaner, more predictable schema than a generic XML-to-JSON pass would.
