Public Methods

public static JSONArray toJSONArray (XMLTokener x)

Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONArray using the JsonML transform. Each XML tag is represented as a JSONArray in which the first element is the tag name. If the tag has attributes, then the second element will be JSONObject containing the name/value pairs. If the tag contains children, then strings and JSONArrays will represent the child content and tags. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters
x An XMLTokener.
Returns
  • A JSONArray containing the structured data from the XML string.
Throws
JSONException

public static JSONArray toJSONArray (String string)

Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONArray using the JsonML transform. Each XML tag is represented as a JSONArray in which the first element is the tag name. If the tag has attributes, then the second element will be JSONObject containing the name/value pairs. If the tag contains children, then strings and JSONArrays will represent the child tags. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters
string The source string.
Returns
  • A JSONArray containing the structured data from the XML string.
Throws
JSONException

public static JSONObject toJSONObject (XMLTokener x)

Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONObject using the JsonML transform. Each XML tag is represented as a JSONObject with a "tagName" property. If the tag has attributes, then the attributes will be in the JSONObject as properties. If the tag contains children, the object will have a "childNodes" property which will be an array of strings and JsonML JSONObjects. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters
x An XMLTokener of the XML source text.
Returns
  • A JSONObject containing the structured data from the XML string.
Throws
JSONException

public static JSONObject toJSONObject (String string)

Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONObject using the JsonML transform. Each XML tag is represented as a JSONObject with a "tagName" property. If the tag has attributes, then the attributes will be in the JSONObject as properties. If the tag contains children, the object will have a "childNodes" property which will be an array of strings and JsonML JSONObjects. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters
string The XML source text.
Returns
  • A JSONObject containing the structured data from the XML string.
Throws
JSONException

public static String toString (JSONObject jo)

Reverse the JSONML transformation, making an XML text from a JSONObject. The JSONObject must contain a "tagName" property. If it has children, then it must have a "childNodes" property containing an array of objects. The other properties are attributes with string values.

Parameters
jo A JSONObject.
Returns
  • An XML string.
Throws
JSONException

public static String toString (JSONArray ja)

Reverse the JSONML transformation, making an XML text from a JSONArray.

Parameters
ja A JSONArray.
Returns
  • An XML string.
Throws
JSONException
