How to convert a node of xml to json array

[relax-admin]

This is achieved in python, is it possible to add similar parameters in java

In the following example, interfaces are parsed into an array as expected

import json

import xmltodict

t1 = '''
<servers>
  <server>
    <name>host1</name>
    <os>Linux</os>
    <interfaces>
      <interface>
        <name>em0</name>
        <ip_address>10.0.0.1</ip_address>
      </interface>
    </interfaces>
  </server>
</servers>
'''
content = xmltodict.parse(t1, force_list=['servers', 'interfaces'])
data_str = json.dumps(content)
print(data_str)

output

{
  "servers": [
    {
      "server": {
        "name": "host1",
        "os": "Linux",
        "interfaces": [
          {
            "interface": {
              "name": "em0",
              "ip_address": "10.0.0.1"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

is it possible to add similar parameters in java?

public JSONObject parse(String content, List<String> forceList) {
        // to be
        return  org.json.XML.toJSONObject(content);
    }

Hi @relax-admin Sorry for the late reply. XML-to-JSON transformations are imperfect. We use XmlParserConfiguration to fine-tune the results. Feel free to post a pull request to implement the desired behavior.

I'm going try to tackle this issue @stleary

I think this is fixed in #646
