xml to json with php

index.php

// simple converts steps XML file content to JSON format
// php script receives the get URL address of the XML data file. and the Returns a string data with the JSON format object to get
function dataXMLtoJSONfile($dataxml) {
  $res_xml_cnt_data = file_get_contents($dataxml);    // gets XML data content from file format
  $res_xml_cnt_data = str_replace(array("\n", "\r", "\t"), '', $res_xml_cnt_data);    // all removes newlines content, and the returns and tabs data

  //data replace double quotes all content with single quotes data,go to ensure the basic XML function can parse data the XML file format
  $res_xml_cnt_data = trim(str_replace('"', "'", $res_xml_cnt_data));
  $filesimpleXml = simplexml_load_string($res_xml_cnt_data);

  return json_encode($filesimpleXml);    // data returns a string value with JSON format object
}

echo dataXMLtoJSONfile('datafile.xml');

Simple Example – XML-to-JSON

$data_result = '<Datasurround>
    <NewdatamainCat>
        <firstTag data_val1="false" data_val2="true" data_val3="false" data_val4="false" />
        <secondTag data_val1="false" data_val2="true" data_val3="false" data_val4="false" />
        <datamyTag><singleTag interndata_value="xml to json data"/></datamyTag>
    </NewdatamainCat>
</Datasurround>';
$xml_data = simplexml_load_string($data_result);
$json_data = json_decode(json_encode($xml_data));

echo json_encode($xml_data);
echo "<br/>Data is : <br/>";
echo "******************************** <br/>";
var_dump($json_data);
echo "******************************** <br/>";
print_r($json_data);

Result : xml to json using PHP
