How are XML attributes handled?

XML attributes are converted to JSON keys prefixed with @ (e.g. becomes {"tag":{"@id":"1"}}). This preserves the distinction between attributes and child elements in the JSON output.

Can it handle XML namespaces?

Namespace prefixes are preserved in the key names (e.g. ns:element becomes "ns:element"). Full namespace URI resolution is not performed, but the structure and data are preserved.

What happens with repeated XML elements?

Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name are automatically converted to JSON arrays. Multiple elements become an array of objects under the "item" key.

Why would I convert XML to JSON?

JSON is the dominant data format for modern web APIs and JavaScript. Converting XML from legacy systems or SOAP APIs to JSON makes it easier to work with in frontend code, Node.js, or modern REST APIs.
