Convert XML to JSON format

Question

I have to convert docx file format (which is in openXML format) into JSON format. I need some guidelines to do it. Thanks in advance.

If you are dissatisfied with the various implementations, try rolling your own. Here is some code I wrote this afternoon to get you started. It works with net.sf.json and apache common-lang:

static public JSONObject readToJSON(InputStream stream) throws Exception {
    SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
    SAXJsonParser handler = new SAXJsonParser();
    parser.parse(stream, handler);
    return handler.getJson();
}

And the SAXJsonParser implementation:

package xml2json;

import net.sf.json.*;
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class SAXJsonParser extends DefaultHandler {

    static final String TEXTKEY = "_text";

    JSONObject result;
    List stack;

    public SAXJsonParser(){}
    public JSONObject getJson(){return result;}
    public String attributeName(String name){return "@"+name;}

    public void startDocument () throws SAXException {
        stack = new ArrayList();
        stack.add(0,new JSONObject());
    }
    public void endDocument () throws SAXException {result = stack.remove(0);}
    public void startElement (String uri, String localName,String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
        JSONObject work = new JSONObject();
        for (int ix=0;ix
