Convert XML to JSON object in Android

You can try this way as well. I have tried and tested it myself.

Step 1 : Please Download the java-json.jar

Step 2: Add this to /libs folder of your project then add to build path.

Step 3: Then use it as follows

• Imports to look for

  import org.json.JSONException;
  import org.json.JSONObject;
  import org.json.XML;
  

• Sample string

  String sampleXml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"
      + "<mobilegate>"    
  +"<timestamp>232423423423</timestamp>"                          
  + "<txn>" + "Transaction" + "</txn>" 
  + "<amt>" + 0 + "</amt>" 
  + "</mobilegate>"; 
  

• Json String

  JSONObject jsonObj = null;
  try {
      jsonObj = XML.toJSONObject(sampleXml);
  } catch (JSONException e) {
      Log.e("JSON exception", e.getMessage());
      e.printStackTrace();
  } 
  
  Log.d("XML", sampleXml);
  
  Log.d("JSON", jsonObj.toString());
  

Output:

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mobilegate><timestamp>232423423423</timestamp><txn>Transaction</txn><amt>0</amt></mobilegate>

JSON :

{"mobilegate":{"timestamp":232423423423,"amt":0,"txn":"Transaction"}}

I just released a "XML to JSON" Library for Android Studio. It is easy to integrate with gradle, simple to use, and configurable.

XmlToJson is available on GitHub:

enjoy!

I would suggest you to use json-lib, a library which adds JSON support to any Java program. json-lib can take XML and convert it into a JSON object.

You can get json-lib here

Eg.

String xml = "your xml string";                
XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer(); 
JSON json = xmlSerializer.read( xml );

Underscore-java has static method U.xmlToJson(xml). Live example

import com.github.underscore.U;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String xml = "<s:Envelope \n"
                    + "xmlns:s=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><s:Body><Response \n"
                    + "xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\"><UserResult><Users xmlns=\"\"><User>\n"
                    + "<Message>Success</Message>\n"
                    + "<UserId>213213213</UserId>\n"
                    + "<FullName>Abc</FullName>\n"
                    + "<Roles>\n"
                    + "<Role>\n"
                    + "<RoleId>23232333</RoleId>\n"
                    + "<RoleName>Salesperson</RoleName>\n"
                    + "</Role>\n"
                    + "</Roles>\n"
                    + "</User>\n"
                    + "</Users>\n"
                    + "</UserResult></Response>\n"
                    + "</s:Body>\n"
                    + "</s:Envelope>";
        System.out.println(U.xmlToJson(xml));
    }
}

Output:

{
  "s:Envelope": {
    "-xmlns:s": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/",
    "s:Body": {
      "Response": {
        "-xmlns": "http://tempuri.org/",
        "UserResult": {
          "Users": {
            "-xmlns": "",
            "User": {
              "Message": "Success",
              "UserId": "213213213",
              "FullName": "Abc",
              "Roles": {
                "Role": {
                  "RoleId": "23232333",
                  "RoleName": "Salesperson"
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "#omit-xml-declaration": "yes"
}
