I was able to get the solution to this problem by using org.json API to convert source XML to JSONObject and then to JSON by Jackson API.

Code

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.XML;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature;

...
...

try (InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(
                "source.xml"))) {
    String xml = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);
    JSONObject jObject = XML.toJSONObject(xml);
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    mapper.enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT);
    Object json = mapper.readValue(jObject.toString(), Object.class);
    String output = mapper.writeValueAsString(json);
    System.out.println(output);
}
