    • toJSONObject

      public static JSONObject toJSONObject(String string) throws JSONException
      Deprecated.
      Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONObject. Some information may be lost in this transformation because JSON is a data format and XML is a document format.

JSON does not does not like to distinguish between elements and attributes. Sequences of similar elements are represented as JSONArrays. Content text may be placed in a "content" member. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and 
      
 &lt;[ [ ]]>
      are ignored.
      Parameters:
      string - The source string.
      Returns:
      A JSONObject containing the structured data from the XML string.
