Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes handled in JSON?
XML attributes are converted to JSON with a prefix (e.g., @attr or $attr). For example, <item id="1"> becomes {"item": {"@id": "1"}}. You can customize the attribute prefix or merge attributes into the object.
How does it handle XML arrays?
When XML has multiple elements with the same tag name, they're automatically converted to a JSON array. For example, <items><item>1</item><item>2</item></items> becomes {"items": {"item": [1, 2]}}. Single elements remain as objects.
Can I preserve XML text nodes?
Yes! You can choose to: merge text into parent object (default), use special key like #text, or ignore text nodes. This is useful when converting complex XML with mixed content (text + child elements).
