Description

xml2json is the first carefully written C++ library that converts XML document to JSON format. It's already been used in the soft subtitle cross-domain solution at the server-end of Tencent Video (http://v.qq.com) and its CDNs.

It's simple and fast, and with almost full support for the XML standards.

It follows these simple but carefully considered rules below:

Pattern	XML	JSON	Access
1	<e/>	"e": null	o.e
2	<e>text</e>	"e": "text"	o.e
3	<e name="value" />	"e":{"@name": "value"}	o.e["@name"]
4	<e name="value">text</e>	"e": { "@name": "value", "#text": "text" }	o.e["@name"] o.e["#text"]
5	<e> <a>text</a> <b>text</b> </e>	"e": { "a": "text", "b": "text" }	o.e.a o.e.b
6	<e> <a>text</a> <a>text</a> </e>	"e": { "a": ["text", "text"] }	o.e.a[0] o.e.a[1]
7	<e> text <a>text</a> </e>	"e": { "#text": "text", "a": "text" }	o.e["#text"] o.e.a
