Frequently asked questions

How are XML attributes represented in the JSON output?

Attributes are prefixed with "@". For example, <user id="1"> becomes {"user": {"@id": "1"}}.

How are CDATA sections handled?

CDATA content is extracted as a plain string and stored under the #text key, identical to regular text content.

Does this preserve XML namespaces?

Yes. Namespace prefixes are preserved in the JSON keys. For example, <ns:element> becomes a key named "ns:element".

What happens with mixed content (text + child elements)?

Mixed content stores the text in #text and child elements as separate keys. This matches the standard XML-to-JSON convention.
