Valid characters for JSON and XML differs: What could be done

[kra3]

Syntax rules for JSON and XMLs are not always compatible.
For example, A JSON data such as {"16x16": "image_url"} can't be converted to <o><16x16>image_url</16x16></o> as XML tag name can't be started with a number.

Is there a workaround for this already in place in the library, if yes what is it? if not what's the expected solution to address such scenarios?

The following snippet shows the new mappedPropertyNames option available in XMLSerializer:

        JSONObject jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject("{\"16x16\": \"image_url\"}");
        String expected = "<o><image_16x16 type=\"string\">image_url</image_16x16></o>";
        xmlSerializer.addMappedPropertyName("16x16", "image_16x16");
        String xml = xmlSerializer.write(jsonObject);
        assertXMLEqual(expected, xml);
