How to Convert JSON to XML Using the XML Object

Starting with PxPlus 2025, JSON data can be easily converted to XML by using both the JSON (*obj/json) and XML (*obj/xml) objects.

The object programs, json.pvc and xml.pvc are found in the *lib/obj directory.

(The JSON object *OBJ/JSON was added in PxPlus 2025.)

These steps show you how to convert JSON data to XML by using the XML object.

	1.	Create both the JSON and XML objects. Example: json_obj=new("*obj/json") xml_obj=new("*obj/xml")
	2.	Create JSON data using a string. Example: string$="{Address: ""Ontario"",StreetNum: 456}"
	3.	Load the data into the JSON object. Example: json_obj'load_string(string$) Note: Reusing load_string without closing the object will clear the previous data.
	4.	Using the Print( ) method, you can print the JSON data Example: json_obj'print()
	5.	Using the Load_json( ) method, load the XML data. Example: xml_obj'load_json(json_obj)
	6.	To view the data you just created, print the XML string by using the Get_Xml$( ) method, which returns the XML string. Example: print xml_obj'get_xml$()
	7.	Drop the json_obj and xml_obj objects. Example: drop object json_obj drop object xml_obj
