## Overview (en)

XML to JSON converts well-formed XML into formatted JSON that keeps both elements and attributes. Attributes appear as keys prefixed with @_, repeated sibling elements become arrays, and element text that looks like a number is converted to a number. Invalid XML is reported with a line number, and DOCTYPE or entity declarations are refused.

## Questions (en)

### How are XML attributes shown in JSON?

Attributes are kept and appear on their element object as keys starting with @_, so id="1" becomes "@_id": "1". Attribute values stay strings.

### What happens to repeated XML elements when converting to JSON?

Sibling elements with the same name are grouped into a JSON array under that name. A single occurrence stays a plain value or object.

### Why did XML to JSON remove leading zeros?

Element text that looks like a number is parsed as a JSON number, so a value such as 007 becomes 7. Keep codes as attributes if their exact text matters.
