How to convert JSON to XML or XML to JSON?

Question

I started to use Json.NET to convert a string in JSON format to object or viceversa. I am not sure in the Json.NET framework, is it possible to convert a string in JSON to X

For convert JSON string to XML try this:

    public string JsonToXML(string json)
    {
        XDocument xmlDoc = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", ""));
        XElement root = new XElement("Root");
        root.Name = "Result";

        var dataTable = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
        root.Add(
                 from row in dataTable.AsEnumerable()
                 select new XElement("Record",
                                     from column in dataTable.Columns.Cast()
                                     select new XElement(column.ColumnName, row[column])
                                    )
               );


        xmlDoc.Add(root);
        return xmlDoc.ToString();
    }

For convert XML to JSON try this:

    public string XmlToJson(string xml)
    {
       XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
       doc.LoadXml(xml);

       string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);
       return jsonText;
     }
