Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes handled?
In this version, XML attributes are not included in the conversion, only element content. For a more complete conversion including attributes, consider using specialized tools.
What happens with repeated XML elements?
Elements with the same name at the same level are automatically converted to a JSON array. For example, multiple
<item> tags are grouped into an array.Are XML comments preserved?
No, XML comments are ignored during conversion since JSON has no equivalent for comments.
Does it work with namespaced XML?
The converter processes XML with namespaces, but namespace prefixes are included in key names. For better results, remove namespaces if they are not needed.
