Frequently Asked Questions
- How are XML attributes handled?
- By default, attributes are placed in an '_attributes' key on the element object. This can be configured.
- What about XML namespaces?
- Namespace prefixes are preserved in the key names (e.g. 'ns:element' becomes 'ns:element' in JSON).
- Does it handle CDATA sections?
- Yes. CDATA content is extracted and placed as the text value of the element.
- Can I paste XML directly?
- Yes. Use the 'Paste XML' tab for quick one-off conversions.
- What about RSS and Atom feeds?
- RSS and Atom files are valid XML and can be converted. Use this to parse feed data into JSON for further processing.
