What Convert Bencode to XML can do:

Convert Bencode to XML decodes bencoded data (used in torrent files and other binary-efficient formats) into a structured, readable XML format. It supports decoding dictionaries, lists, integers, and strings, then maps them into nested XML. Toggle a root wrapper to keep output compliant for external XML parsers. This tool is ideal for debugging .torrent files or converting lightweight binary configs into XML for other tools, editors, or web previews.

Example:

Input Bencode:

d4:name5:Alice3:agei30e5:hobbyl6:chess6:tennisee

Output XML:

<root>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
  <hobby>chess</hobby>
  <hobby>tennis</hobby>
</root>

Common Use Cases:

Use Convert Bencode to XML to inspect torrent metadata, convert serialized data into readable form, migrate bencoded config into XML-based pipelines, or simply study how Bencode structures map to standard formats. Great for developers working with magnet links, p2p tooling, embedded Bencode, or test fixtures.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After converting Bencode, it’s smart to run Validate XML to catch any structural issues early. And if you want to make the result easier to explore, Prettify XML helps format everything cleanly for reading or editing.
