 FAQ

What is the difference between XML and JSON data formats?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) uses a tag-based structure with opening and closing elements, supports attributes on elements, and allows mixed content. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) uses key-value pairs with objects and arrays, is more compact, and maps directly to data structures in most programming languages. JSON is generally lighter weight and easier to parse programmatically.
How are XML attributes represented in JSON?

Since JSON has no native concept of attributes, XML attributes are typically converted to regular JSON properties. Common conventions include prefixing attribute names with @ or _ to distinguish them from child elements. The choice of prefix depends on your downstream processing needs.
How does XML to JSON conversion handle repeated elements?

When an XML document contains multiple sibling elements with the same tag name, they are typically grouped into a JSON array. For example, multiple elements inside a parent become a JSON array of objects. This preserves the collection semantics of the original XML structure.
