Jackson XmlMapper XML to Json conversion issue

问题

I'm using the Jackson XmlMapper to read an XML string and convert it to a JsonString. My XML file is:

<root>
<catalog>
   <book id="bk101">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications 
      with XML.</description>
   </book>
   <book id="bk105">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications 
      with XML.</description>
   </book>
   <book id="bk114">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications 
      with XML.</description>
   </book>
</catalog>
</root>

The code I've written for the conversion is :

XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
List entries = xmlMapper.readValue(file, List.class);
ObjectMapper jsonMapper = new ObjectMapper();
String json = jsonMapper.writeValueAsString(entries);

The Json String I'm getting as output is:

{
  "id": "569df9c1e4b0e505eb9fb913",
  "json": [
    {
      "book": {
        "id": "bk114",
        "author": "Gambardella, Matthew",
        "title": "XML Developer's Guide",
        "genre": "Computer",
        "price": "44.95",
        "publish_date": "2000-10-01",
        "description": "An in-depth look at creating applications \n          with XML."
      }
    }
  ],
  "fileType": "xml"
}

Only the last book is being mapped to the Json String. Answer to a similar question suggested to read the xml string into it's object class rather than a generic list class. But the XML file I'm trying to process is generic and doesn't have a fixed POJO representation. How do I handle this issue?

Thanks!

Solved the issue. Used the org.json.XML toJsonObject function to convert XML to JSON. This XML parser is capable of parsing complex XML files like the one in the question.
