Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • !Expecting XML attributes to appear as regular JSON keys without checking the output structure
  • !Not validating the XML first, which can produce unexpected JSON output
  • !Assuming XML namespaces will be stripped automatically from the output

Limitations

  • –XML comments and processing instructions are discarded during conversion
  • –Mixed content elements (text plus child elements) may not convert perfectly
  • –Very deeply nested XML can produce hard-to-read JSON structures
