Frequently Asked Questions

How are XML attributes represented in the output JSON?

XML attributes are represented as nested object properties, typically prefixed with "@" or an "_attr" key to distinguish them from child tags.

How are repeated XML tags with the same name handled?

When multiple sibling elements share the same tag name, the converter automatically groups them into a JSON array.

Are namespaces like xmlns:ns retained?

Yes. Namespace prefixes and declarations are maintained in the resulting object keys to prevent property collision.
