An XML element like this:

Code Block

language	xml

<root/>

will by default be converted to a JSON structure like this:

Code Block

language	json

{
  "root:" {
    "attributes":[],
    "children":[]
  }
}

...

This will use the Jackson XML Mapping scheme to convert a given XML to JSON.

The jackson conversion scheme is described in this table:

...

XML

It creates a much easier to use JSON structure but doesn’t support all XML features as the default conversion scheme does. Also conversion back from JSON to XML is not straight forward. But for one-way conversion XML → JSON with simple structures it is a good choice.

The jackson conversion scheme is described in this table:

Access with PEL (Examples)

Single root element:

Code Block

language	xml

<root/>

Invalid (single root element is not allowed by default by Jackson)

Root element with text:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>Some text</root>

Invalid (single root element with text is not allowed by default by Jackson)

Nested element:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
  <orders/>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": ""
}

Code Block

language	none

orders   
-> ""

Nested element with text:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
 <orders>Some text</orders>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": "Some text"
}

Code Block

language	none

orders   
-> "Some text"

Deeper nested element with text:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
 <orders>
  <item>My Item</item>
 </orders>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": {
    "item": "My Item"
  }
}

Code Block

language	none

orders.item
-> "My Item"

Multiple deep elements of same name:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
 <orders>
  <item>My Item1</item>
  <item>My Item2</item>
 </orders>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": {
    "item": [
      "My Item1",
      "My Item2"
    ]
  }
}

Code Block

language	none

orders.item[0]
-> "My Item1"

Code Block
orders['item'][1] -> "My Item2"

Code Block
orders.item -> [ "My Item1", "My Item2" ]

Multiple elements of different name:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
 <orders>
  <itemA>Item1</itemA>
  <itemB>Item2</itemB>
 </orders>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": {
    "itemA": "Item1",
    "itemB": "Item2"
  }
}

Code Block
orders.itemA -> "Item1"

Code Block
orders['itemB'] -> "Item2"

Code Block
orders -> { "itemA": "Item1", "itemB": "Item2" }

XML attribute and text mixed:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
 <orders>
  <item id="0">Text</item>
 </orders>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "orders": {
    "item": {
      "id": "0",
      "": "Text"
    }
  }
}

Code Block
orders.item.id -> "0"

Code Block
orders.item[''] -> "Text"

Mixed content (text + element):

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
  text
  <a>Foo</a>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "": "\n text\n ",
  "a": "Foo"
}

Code Block
[''] -> "\n text\n"

Code Block
a -> "Foo"

Text with line breaks and CDATA:

Code Block

language	xml

<root>
  <someElem>
   <![CDATA[Some <b>text</b>]]>
  </someElem>
</root>

Code Block

language	json

{
  "someElem": "\n   Some <b>text</b>\n  "
}

Code Block
someElem -> "\n Some <b>text</b>\n "
