XML to JSON Converter

XML and JSON describe data differently, so any conversion has to pick conventions. This tool parses your input with the browser's built-in DOMParser in text/xml mode, then walks the resulting DOM tree with a recursive function. The document's root element name becomes the single top-level key. Each child element becomes a nested key under its parent, attributes are stored as keys prefixed with @ (so id='5' becomes '@id': '5'), and an element's text content is placed under a '#text' key rather than becoming the value directly — even a simple leaf like <name>John</name> produces {'name': {'#text': 'John'}}. When a parent has several child elements with the same tag name, those siblings are merged into a JSON array so none are lost. An element with no attributes and no text becomes null. The mapping is deliberately lossy: namespaces survive only as literal prefixed key names (ns:tag) and are never resolved, comments, processing instructions, and CDATA sections are dropped to null, the original order of mixed text-and-element content is not preserved, and nothing is type-coerced, so numbers and booleans stay as strings like '42' and 'true'.
