jsonToXml(jsonString)

Convert the JSON string to an XML element. This string can represent for an array.

The following examples show how four different array representations are transformed into XML:

The root element and the value is a JSON object.

JSON
:

{"foo":{"name":"foo","desc":"foo desc"}}

XML
:

<foo desc="foo desc" name="foo"/>

The root element and the value is an array. A wrapper object element containing a sequence of elements representing the values of the array is created.

JSON:

{"foo":[{"name":"foo","desc":"foo desc"},{"name":"foo2","desc":"foo2 desc"}]}

XML:

<json:object xmlns:json="http://schemas.activebpel.org/JSON/2013/10/10/aeJSON.xsd">
   <foo desc="foo desc" name="foo"/>
   <foo desc="foo2 desc" name="foo2"/>
</json:object>

A root object exists but there is no root element. The JSON object is wrapped into an object element.

JSON:

{"name":"foo","desc":"foo desc"}

XML:

<json:object xmlns:json="http://schemas.activebpel.org/JSON/2013/10/10/aeJSON.xsd" 
   desc="foo desc" 
   name="foo"/>

A root array exists but there is no root element. The array is wrapped in an array element and each object becomes a sequence of object elements.

JSON:

[{"name":"foo","desc":"foo desc"},{"name":"foo2","desc":"foo2 desc"}]

XML:

<json:array xmlns:json="http://schemas.activebpel.org/JSON/2013/10/10/aeJSON.xsd">
   <json:object desc="foo desc"  name="foo" />
   <json:object desc="foo2 desc" name="foo2" />
</json:array>
