BSON to XML Converter
Convert Binary JSON (BSON) to XML format. Transform MongoDB's BSON data into structured XML for legacy systems, SOAP services, and XML-based workflows. Handles all MongoDB types with proper conversion.
Recommended Settings
Type Conversion
- •ObjectIds → <ObjectId> with hex value
- •Dates → <Date> with ISO 8601 format
- •Arrays → <array> with indexed items
Best Practices
- •Validate XML output with XML parsers
- •Use hex format for MongoDB bsondump output
- •Check special character escaping in strings
Pro Tips
- •XML structure preserves BSON data hierarchy
- •MongoDB types get special XML tags
- •All conversion happens client-side for privacy

When to Use This Tool
Convert MongoDB BSON data to XML format for integration with legacy systems that require XML input. Transform database exports into XML for SOAP services, enterprise applications, or older platforms.
Recommended: System integration
Transform BSON data from MongoDB into XML for further processing with XSLT, XQuery, or XML-based ETL pipelines. Useful for complex data transformation workflows that leverage XML tooling.
Recommended: Data pipelines
Enable data exchange between MongoDB and XML-based systems. Convert BSON exports to XML for compatibility with systems that only accept XML format, ensuring seamless cross-platform data sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BSON?
BSON (Binary JSON) is a binary-encoded serialization format used primarily by MongoDB. It extends JSON with additional data types like Date, Binary, ObjectId, and Decimal128. This tool converts BSON data into XML format.
How are BSON types converted to XML?
Standard types convert naturally (strings, numbers, booleans). MongoDB-specific types are handled specially: ObjectIds become <ObjectId> tags with hex values, Dates become <Date> tags with ISO strings, and Binary data becomes Base64-encoded <Binary> tags.
What format should my input be?
Since BSON is binary data, you need to provide it as either a hexadecimal string or Base64-encoded string. MongoDB's bsondump tool outputs hex format. Select your input format using the format selector.
Are arrays and nested objects supported?
Yes! Arrays are converted to <array> elements with indexed <item> children. Nested objects become <object> elements with child tags for each property. The tool preserves the complete structure of your BSON data.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely! All conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is ever sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your MongoDB data.
