Translating JSON to Xml using XSLT

Question

Is it possible to translate JSON to XML using existing XSLT templates?

I do not want to have another layer of xml transformation JSON->XML->XSLT->Final XML.
Reason being that I am writing a new UI for a legacy system replacing it FlexUI. Current UI sends xml requests and gets xml response.
I am emphasizing on JSON objects so that I can take advantage latest MVVM frameworks like AngularJS or Backbone.js.

I am using XSLT 2.0

Can you use XSLT 2.0? (See Michael Kay's comment in the answer below.) — Daniel Haley, Oct 17 '13 at 00:23

XSLT on the client can do it via JavaScript libraries:

json2xml.js + SAXON CE
json2xml.js + Stapling

XSLT on the server can do it via XSLT 2.0 libraries:

FXSL 2.0

Or you can do it on the client by reading the JSON file via:

an external entity defined in the DTD
an external parameter defined in the XSLT processor initialization

then parsing it using string methods.
