XML to JavaScript Object

Question

I am looking for a JavaScript library that parses an XML string and converts it to a JavaScript object. What are some good ones?

Answer 1

Here's a nice xml2json and json2xml converter:

  • Related tutorial: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/05/31/converting-between-xml-and-json.html

Here's another one:

Depending on your needs, you might be able to use a standard parser (see http://www.w3schools.com/XML/tryit.asp?filename=tryxml_parsertest2) and xpath (http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp) - here's an example:
