Quickest way to convert XML to JSON in Java

Question

What are some good tools for quickly and easily converting XML to JSON in Java?

Answer 1

JSON in Java has some great resources.

Maven dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.json</groupId>
  <artifactId>json</artifactId>
  <version>20180813</version>
</dependency>

XML.java is the class you're looking for:

import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.XML;

public class Main {

    public static int PRETTY_PRINT_INDENT_FACTOR = 4;
    public static String TEST_XML_STRING =
        "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?><test attrib=\"moretest\">Turn this to JSON</test>";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            JSONObject xmlJSONObj = XML.toJSONObject(TEST_XML_STRING);
            String jsonPrettyPrintString = xmlJSONObj.toString(PRETTY_PRINT_INDENT_FACTOR);
            System.out.println(jsonPrettyPrintString);
        } catch (JSONException je) {
            System.out.println(je.toString());
        }
    }
}

Output is:

{"test": {
    "attrib": "moretest",
    "content": "Turn this to JSON"
}}
