Why does JSX use className instead of class?

Because 'class' is a reserved keyword in JavaScript for defining classes. React uses 'className' to set class attributes on elements without colliding with standard JS keywords.

How does style conversion work?

Standard CSS inline strings (e.g. style='color: blue; font-size: 12px;') are parsed and converted into a standard React style object (e.g. style={{ color: 'blue', fontSize: '12px' }}). Keys are converted from kebab-case to camelCase.

Are my HTML inputs uploaded or stored?

No! The SimplyUtils HTML to JSX Converter uses the native browser DOMParser to process your markup. Absolutely no data leaves your local device, ensuring complete security for sensitive configurations or templates.

HTML to JSX Converter — Translate HTML to React Components Online

Online HTML to React JSX Converter, Property Mapper & Tag Sanitizer

Our **HTML to JSX Converter** is a secure, local-first utility designed to translate standard HTML markup templates into clean, syntactically correct React JSX code blocks. React's XML extension forbids standard tags from staying open and uses JavaScript reservation keywords, which causes compilation crashes in web applications. This tool automatically handles attributes parsing, self-closing elements, inline style translations, and comments mapping 100% offline within your browser memory.

How to Convert HTML Snippets to Clean React JSX

Input HTML Code — Paste your native HTML markup snippet into the left editor panel, or drag and drop your target code file.
Toggle Wrapper Fragments — Select whether to enclose the compiled output inside a standard React Fragment (<>...</>) or a parent <div>.
Configure Property Rules — Customize style parser preferences to decide if inline CSS styles translate to JS objects.
Select Output Indentation — Set your target formatting structure to 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs using the built-in beautifier rules.
Extract JSX Code — Click "Copy Output" to instantly move the React-ready JSX tags into your code editor.

HTML Attribute to React JSX Property Mapping

Learn how the translation engine maps typical HTML elements to JavaScript-friendly React JSX attributes:

Mapping Purpose & Explanation

Mapping Status

class

className

In JavaScript, `class` is a reserved keyword for ES6 classes. React uses className to define CSS class structures.

Mapped

for

htmlFor

JavaScript uses `for` inside loop structures. React uses htmlFor to map form input identifiers to label elements.

Mapped

style="..."

style={{...}}

Converts standard CSS parameter strings into structured, camelCase JavaScript style objects.

Mapped

onclick

onClick

Maps standard lower-case event listeners into camelCase trigger functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does JSX require self-closing tags to be terminated?

JSX follows XML structure rules rather than loose HTML conventions. Because React parses files into a virtual DOM tree, every element must have a clear closing boundary (e.g. <br /> instead of <br>) to avoid compiler errors.

How are inline CSS styles handled by the converter?

The converter parses CSS strings and splits declaration lines into camelCase key-value blocks enclosed in double curly braces (e.g. style={{ fontSize: "14px" }}), allowing dynamic script configurations.

Is it safe to paste proprietary templates here?

Absolutely. All conversions are executed locally inside your browser volatile memory via JavaScript. We do not store, log, or transmit your templates to external databases.
