Converting XML Object to JSON Object

Question

I'm getting xml response from web service as follows:-

<ns2:errorList xmlns:ns2="http://www.abc.com/api/def/V1">
   <error code="DOMAIN_VALIDATE" path="address.zip">
     <message>invalid</message>
   </error>
   <error code="DOMAIN_VALIDATE" path="address.city">
     <message>empty</message>
   </error>
</ns2:errorList>

I want this to be in json format using jquery or javascript. Don't want to touch the web service for this. Please help.

And how to you imagine doing that? XML has children and attributes, JSON has only attributes (though they can be arrays). — Danubian Sailor, Jul 26 '13 at 12:18

You could try Xml2Json :

var xml = '<ns2:errorList xmlns:ns2="http://www.abc.com/api/def/V1"><error code="DOMAIN_VALIDATE" path="address.zip"><message>invalid</message></error><error code="DOMAIN_VALIDATE" path="address.city"><message>empty</message></error>
</ns2:errorList>';

var json = $.xml2json(xml);

Now json will contain the XML object. json.error[0].path will give you address.zip.
