What is XML to JSON conversion?

Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes handled?
When 'Preserve attributes' is enabled, XML attributes are placed in an '_attributes' object within the corresponding JSON object. When disabled, attributes are ignored during conversion.
What happens with repeated XML elements?
Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are automatically converted into a JSON array. This preserves the collection semantics of the original XML structure.
Can this tool handle XML namespaces?
Namespace prefixes are preserved in the JSON key names. For example, <ns:element> becomes a key named 'ns:element' in the JSON output, maintaining the namespace context.
