XML vs JSON Comparison

XML Format

  <name>John Doe</name>
  <email>john@example.com</email>
</user>

Conversion Rules

  • Elements: Converted to JSON objects with element names as keys
  • Attributes: Prefixed with @ symbol (e.g., @id, @type)
  • Text content: Stored with special key or as direct value
  • Arrays: Repeated elements become array items
  • Namespaces: Preserved or stripped based on settings

When to Use JSON Over XML

  • When file size and parsing speed matter
  • NoSQL databases that store JSON natively
