Convert XML to JSON

• What is XML?

  XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. XML was designed to store and transport data while also being self-descriptive. XML is designed to be both flexible and extensible, making it suitable for creating a wide variety of documents that can be customized to meet specific needs.

• What is JSON?

  JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
