Brian McCallister has developed excellent tool to translate the XML to JSON, he named this tool as BadgerFish.
What is BadgerFish?
BadgerFish is a convention for translating an XML document into a JSON object. Once you've got your XML document represented as a JSON object, it's easy to manipulate from within Javascript. If you're familiar with PHP's SimpleXML extension, think of BadgerFish as aiming for a similar goal: making it simpler to do common manipulations of XML documents with a predictable structure.
How does it work?
1. Element names become object properties.
2. Text content of elements goes in the $ property of an object.
3. Nested elements become nested properties
4. Multiple elements at the same level become array elements.
5. Attributes go in properties whose names begin with @.
6. Active namespaces for an element go in the element's @xmlns property.
7.The default namespace URI goes in @xmlns.$.
8. Other namespaces go in other properties of @xmlns.
9. Elements with namespace prefixes become object properties, too.
