Method Detail

toJSONArray

public static JSONArray toJSONArray(String string)
                             throws JSONException

Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONArray using the JsonML transform.

Each XML tag is represented as a JSONArray in which the first element is the tag name. If the tag has attributes, then the second element will be JSONObject containing the name/value pairs. If the tag contains children, then strings and JSONArrays will represent the child tags. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters:

string - the source string

Returns:

a JSONArray containing the structured data from the XML string.

Throws:

JSONException - if something goes wrong

toJSONArray

public static JSONArray toJSONArray(XMLTokener x)
                             throws JSONException

Each XML tag is represented as a JSONArray in which the first element is the tag name. If the tag has attributes, then the second element will be JSONObject containing the name/value pairs. If the tag contains children, then strings and JSONArrays will represent the child content and tags. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters:

x - an XMLTokener

Returns:

a JSONArray containing the structured data from the XML string

Throws:

JSONException - if something goes wrong

toString

public static String toString(JSONArray ja)
                       throws JSONException
