xmljson

Converts XML to JSON and vice versa. The JSON schema used is badgerfish. Badgerfish is used because it is mostly lossless, although there are rare cases where information could be lost in the conversion.

gleam add xmljson

import xmljson

pub fn main() {
  let input = "<alice>bob</alice>"

  let json = xmljson.to_json(input)
  // "{ \"alice\": { \"$\" : \"bob\" } }"
  xmljson.to_xml_fragment(json)
  // "<alice>bob</alice>"

  // Multiple values become a list
  let input = "<alice><bob>charlie</bob><bob>david</bob></alice>"
  let json = xmljson.to_json(input)
  // "{ \"alice\": { \"bob\" : [{\"$\": \"charlie\" }, {\"$\": \"david\" }] } }"

  // Attributes are labelled with an @
  let input = "<alice charlie=\"david\">bob</alice>"
  let json = xmljson.to_json(input)
  // "{ \"alice\": { \"$\" : \"bob\", \"@charlie\" : \"david\" } }"
}
