3. Xml To Json Format

A LIXI2 message can be serialised in either XML or JSON format. LIXI2 XML and JSON formats hold identical information and are structured in exactly the same way, it is only the data serialisation format that is different. This means that a LIXI2 message in the XML format can be converted to JSON (or in the other direction from JSON to XML) without any loss of data.

Convert a JSON String to Java Object using the json-simple library in Java? How to convert Python date in JSON format? How to convert JSON text to JavaScript JSON object? How can we convert a JSON string to a. This is a typical UNIX filter program: it reads file (or stdin), processes it in some way (convert XML to JSON in this case), then prints it to stdout (or file). Example with pipe: $ some-xml-producer python -m xmljson some-json-processor There is also pip’s consolescript entry-point, you can call this utility as xml2json.

LIXI has developed a LIXI2 compliant XML to JSON converter. There are some subtleties to the XML/JSON conversion that mean using a generic converter (such as an online conversion tool) will not always convert the message correctly.

The LIXI2 converter is available as a feature of our LIXI Python Package.

Read a LIXI2 message using the LIXI Python Package

1) Install the LIXI Python Package

2) Download the LIXI2 schema for your LIXI2 message

Links to download LIXI2 schemas can be found here: LIXI standards Release History.

3) Read your LIXI message using the LIXI Python Package

Sample LIXI2 messages for Single Applicant Credit Application or Joint Applicant Credit Application are available on our Credit Application Tutorials (available to logged in members). We also have a repository of LIXI2 Samples in LIXILab. Read your LIXI2 message using the following code (being sure to use the correct file paths for your LIXI2 message and LIXI2 schema).

Convert XML to JSON using the LIXI Python Package

We now have our LIXI2 message object. We can convert this object to JSON using the to_json function. We can then save the JSON message to file using the save function, or write to the terminal using the pretty_print function.

Convert JSON to XML using the LIXI Python Package

Lets say we started with our LIXI2 message in the JSON format and we wanted to read the file, convert it to XML and then save the file as XML or display it on the terminal.

The JSON message can be read in exactly the same way as the XML message, using the read_message function.

The message can be converted to XML using the to_xml function, We can then save the XML message to file using the save function, or write to the terminal using the pretty_print function.

The detailed package documentation includes a Quickstart Guide that takes you through all the key functionality (available to logged in users - any member or licensee can register for a free account here).

Converts XML into JSON/Python dicts/arrays and vice-versa.

Project description

This library is not actively maintained. Alternatives are xmltodict and untangle.Use only if you need to parse using specific XML to JSON conventions.

xmljson converts XML into Python dictionary structures (trees, like in JSON) and vice-versa.

About

XML can be converted to a data structure (such as JSON) and back. For example:

can be converted into this data structure (which also a valid JSON object):

This uses the BadgerFish convention that prefixes attributes with @.The conventions supported by this library are:

• Abdera: Use 'attributes' for attributes, 'children' for nodes
• BadgerFish: Use '$' for text content, @ to prefix attributes
• Cobra: Use 'attributes' for sorted attributes (even when empty), 'children' for nodes, values are strings
• GData: Use '$t' for text content, attributes added as-is
• Parker: Use tail nodes for text content, ignore attributes
• Yahoo Use 'content' for text content, attributes added as-is

Convert data to XML

To convert from a data structure to XML using the BadgerFish convention:

This returns an array of etree.Element structures. In this case, theresult is identical to:

The result can be inserted into any existing root etree.Element:

This includes lxml.html as well:

For ease of use, strings are treated as node text. For example, both thefollowing are the same:

By default, non-string values are converted to strings using Python’s str,except for booleans – which are converted into true and false (lowercase). Override this behaviour using xml_fromstring:

If the data contains invalid XML keys, these can be dropped viainvalid_tags='drop' in the constructor:

Convert XML to data

To convert from XML to a data structure using the BadgerFish convention:

To convert this to JSON, use:

To preserve the order of attributes and children, specify the dict_type asOrderedDict (or any other dictionary-like type) in the constructor:

By default, values are parsed into boolean, int or float where possible (exceptin the Yahoo method). Override this behaviour using xml_fromstring:

xml_fromstring can be any custom function that takes a string and returns avalue. In the example below, only the integer 1 is converted to an integer.Everything else is retained as a float:

Conventions

To use a different conversion method, replace BadgerFish with one of theother classes. Currently, these are supported:

Options

Conventions may support additional options.

The Parker convention absorbs the root element by default.parker.data(preserve_root=True) preserves the root instance:

Installation

This is a pure-Python package built for Python 2.7+ and Python 3.0+. To set up:

Simple CLI utility

After installation, you can benefit from using this package as simple CLI utility. By now only XML to JSON conversion supported. Example:

This is a typical UNIX filter program: it reads file (or stdin), processes it in some way (convert XML to JSON in this case), then prints it to stdout (or file). Example with pipe:

There is also pip’s console_script entry-point, you can call this utility as xml2json:
