XML to JSON Converter

What is XML to JSON?

XML to JSON is a tool that converts XML data to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. XML attributes are represented as '@attributeName' keys, and text nodes as '#text' keys. Multiple child elements with the same tag name are automatically converted to arrays. Empty elements become null, and CDATA sections are preserved as '#cdata' keys. The attribute prefix and text key name are customizable.
