About the Android strings.xml to JSON Converter
Android apps keep localized text in res/values/strings.xml as <string name="key">value</string> entries. JSON is often easier for tooling and translators.
This converter turns strings.xml into a JSON object and back into a valid resources file.
It runs in your browser, so your resources stay private.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it keep string arrays and plurals?
- It focuses on simple <string> entries. String arrays and plurals use different tags and are not included in the basic mapping.
- Are XML special characters handled?
- Yes. When converting JSON back to XML, characters like &, < and > are escaped so the result is valid XML.
- Does this run on a server?
- No. It parses XML in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
