Feed JSON
RSS to JSON Converter
Turn a live feed into JSON without hand-parsing the XML first.
Paste a feed URL and this tool will fetch it, normalize the feed and item fields, and give you JSON you can copy or download.
Useful for scripts, tests, imports, and one-off checks where XML is the wrong shape to work with directly.
JSON result
Turn a feed into JSON
The result includes the feed record, the parsed items, a few quick counts, and the JSON itself ready to copy or save.
What comes through in the conversion
The converter pulls the feed into a JSON shape with feed metadata, item fields, parsed dates, warning buckets, and a few counts that make the result easier to inspect before you wire it into anything.
It is not a raw XML dump. It gives you something easier to read in code and easier to reuse in a test, script, import, or quick comparison.
Before you drop it into code
- Look at the warning count first. That usually explains why the JSON feels thinner than expected.
- Check the item count and the first few entries so you know you converted the right feed.
- If the JSON is sparse, the source feed is often sparse too.
- Open RSS Feed Viewer if you want to compare the JSON with the visible feed output.
Same feed, different angle
Validate the source if the JSON looks off, or open the viewer if you want to compare the data with the published feed output.
RSS Feed Validator
Check one RSS or Atom feed and see what is broken, what is weak, and what can wait.
RSS Feed Viewer
Open one RSS or Atom feed and see what it is actually publishing without reading the XML.
Podcast RSS Validator
Check a podcast feed for the problems that get in the way of listening apps and directory submission.
Common conversion questions
This page is for the moment when you need the feed in JSON, not prose about the feed.
Is this a raw XML-to-JSON conversion?
No. The output is reshaped so it is easier to work with. It keeps the useful fields, but it is not a literal XML mirror.
Does it work with Atom feeds as well?
Yes. RSS and Atom both end up in the same JSON shape so you can handle them the same way downstream.
What information is preserved in the payload?
Feed-level metadata, recent items, parsed dates, warning buckets, and the fetched source URL all come through.
Can I copy or download the result?
Yes. You can copy the JSON directly or download it as a file from the result area.
Should I validate the feed before using the JSON?
If the output looks odd, yes. The validator will tell you whether the issue is in the feed itself rather than in the conversion.
