Mule: Is there simple way of converting XML to JSON

Question

Is there simple way of converting XML to JSON, without binding XML to a java object first?

Just like how this does it -- http://www.utilities-online.info/xmltojson/

Answer 1

This what I ended up doing --

Here is XmlToJson.java --

import org.json.XML;
import org.mule.api.transformer.TransformerException;
import org.mule.transformer.AbstractTransformer;

public class XmlToJson extends AbstractTransformer{

@Override
protected Object doTransform(Object src, String enc)
        throws TransformerException {
    JSONObject jsonObj = XML.toJSONObject((String) src);
            return  jsonObj.toString();
}
}
