WSDL to XML Online: Convert & Extract
A WSDL file already is XML, so "converting WSDL to XML" really means extracting the useful parts: formatted readable XML, the endpoint addresses, the operations, or a JSON representation. This tool does all four: paste a WSDL and get clean XML, every soap:address endpoint, a JSON conversion, or a full structural analysis.
Working from a URL instead? Analyze it with the WSDL Analyzer and it fetches, parses, and extracts everything in one step.
How it works
- 1
Paste your WSDL document (or fetch it from a URL via the WSDL Analyzer first).
- 2
Choose an action: Format as XML, Extract Endpoints, or Convert to JSON.
- 3
Copy the output, or open the full analyzer for services, operations, and SOAP templates.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a WSDL file to XML?
You don't need a conversion. WSDL is already an XML format. What you usually want is one of: (1) pretty-printed XML you can read, (2) the endpoint URLs from the service section, (3) the operations and types as structured data, or (4) a JSON version for tooling. This page does all of those in the browser.
How do I extract the endpoint URL from a WSDL?
The endpoint lives in the service section: <wsdl:service> → <wsdl:port> → <soap:address location="..."/>. Click Extract Endpoints and the tool lists every soap:address / soap12:address location attribute found in the document.
Can I convert WSDL to JSON?
Yes. The Convert to JSON action maps the XML element tree to a JSON object (attributes become @attributes keys, repeated elements become arrays). For an OpenAPI-style conversion of the service semantics, analyze the WSDL first and export the structured results as JSON.
What's the difference between WSDL and XSD?
XSD (XML Schema Definition) defines data types; WSDL describes a web service and typically imports or embeds XSD inside its types section. A WSDL answers "what operations exist and where", the XSD answers "what shape is the data".
