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:
