Question 1

How does JSON to XML conversion work?

Accepted Answer

JSON objects become XML elements, arrays become repeated elements, and primitive values become text content. Object keys map to element names. The converter handles nested structures, arrays, and mixed content types.

Question 2

Does the conversion preserve data types?

Accepted Answer

XML is text-based, so numbers, booleans, and null values are converted to their string representations. When converting back to JSON, you may need to parse these strings back to their original types.

Question 3

What happens with JSON arrays?

Accepted Answer

Arrays are converted to repeated XML elements with the same tag name. For example, {"items": [1, 2, 3]} becomes 123 wrapped in a parent element.

Question 4

Can I customize the root element name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set a custom root element name for the XML output. By default, it uses "root" as the wrapper element. The root element is required in XML but has no equivalent in JSON.
