NAME

       xml2json - convert an XML message with a schema into JSON

SYNOPSIS

        xml2json xml-file schema-file(s)  >json-file

        xml2json -x xml-file -s schema-files -o json-file

DESCRIPTION

       Convert an XML message into JSON with the same structure.  A schema is required to enforce
       the correct syntax, especially for optionally repeated elements.

   Options
       You can either specify an XML message filename and one or more schema filenames as
       arguments, or use the options.

       --xml|-x filename
           The file which contains the xml message.  A single dash means "stdin".

       --schema|-s filename(s)
           This option can be repeated, or the filenames separated by comma's, if you have more
           than one schema file to parse.  All imported and included schema components have to be
           provided explicitly.

       --bigints|-b  (boolean)
           By default, the translation is a little sloppy: Integer types are defined to support
           at least 18 digits in XML.  However, this is usually unnecessary large and unreadible
           in JSON.

       --no-keep-root  (boolean)
           Do not include the top node in the output.

       --mixed HOW
           [1.32] How to treat mixed elements.  The default is TEXTUAL.  Other values are
           "ATTRIBUTES", "XML_STRING", and "STRUCTURAL".  More details about mixed_elements in
           XML::Compile::Translate::Reader.

       --type|-t TYPE
           The type of the root element, required if the XML is not namespaceo qualified,
           although the schema is.  If not specified, the root element is automatically
           inspected.

           The TYPE notation is "{namespace}localname".  Be warned to use quoting on the UNIX
           command-line, because curly braces have a special meaning for the shell.

       --output|-o filename
           By default (or when the filename is a dash), the output is printed to stdout.
