Another option is xmltodict (full disclosure: I wrote it). It can help you convert your XML to a dict+list+string structure, following this "standard". It is Expat-based, so it's very fast and doesn't need to load the whole XML tree in memory.

Once you have that data structure, you can serialize it to JSON:

import xmltodict, json

o = xmltodict.parse(' text text ')
json.dumps(o) # '{"e": {"a": ["text", "text"]}}'
