XML::XML2JSON is a Perl module to convert XML to JSON (and JSON to XML) using the following rules from Google (http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/json.html): Basic: - The feed is represented as a JSON object; each nested element or attribute is represented as a name/value property of the object. - Attributes are converted to String properties. - Child elements are converted to Object properties. - Elements that may appear more than once are converted to Array properties. - Text values of tags are converted to $t properties. Namespace: - If an element has a namespace alias, the alias and element are concatenated using "$". For example, ns:element becomes ns$element. XML: - XML version and encoding attributes are converted to version and encoding attributes of the root element, respectively.
