How are XML attributes represented?

Attributes are stored under an @attributes key as a nested object. For example, becomes {"@attributes":{"id":"1"}}.

What happens with repeated child elements?

When multiple child elements share the same tag name, they are collected into an array under that key, mirroring the XML structure.

Is the namespace prefix preserved?

Yes. Namespace-prefixed element names such as soap:Body are preserved as-is in the resulting JSON keys.

XML to JSON parses XML using the browser's built-in DOMParser and converts it to a JSON object recursively. Element attributes are mapped to @attributes keys, text content to #text, and child elements to nested objects. Multiple children with the same tag name become arrays. Useful for working with SOAP APIs, RSS feeds, and legacy XML data sources.
