Hi Folks,
We're looking to do conversion of relatively complex XML (i.e.
namespaces, attributes, repeating elements, xlinks) into JSON from
the
Unix command line to build a web page. We've used the XML to JSON
feature in the Oxygen Developer tool, and it works well, but that's
a
GUI, not a command line tool.
It's probably using XSLT under the hood, with a stylesheet that's
usable e.g. with Saxon. You do pay the penalty of Java runtime startup,
though.
Note also that XSLT 3 includes a standard function to produce JSON; see
https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#json-to-xml-mapping
So you could just use xml-to-json() in XSLT. You may need Saxon EE for
that, i'm not sure offhand.
Of course, you could also just send XML to the Web client; what you are
doing by using a complex transformation into JSON is moving the
complexity from one developer to another. You could also generate HTML
on the server, whic might make it easier to meet 508/WCAG requirements
:)
