In this article, we are going to see how to convert XML data into JSON format using PHP .

1. Code:

<?php
 
// student details xml data taken as an String
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<student>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 1</firstname>
            <city>kakumanu</city>
            <zip>522112</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 2</firstname>
            <city>guntur</city>
            <zip>522112</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 3</firstname>
            <city>ponnur</city>
            <zip>456345</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 4</firstname>
            <city>noida</city>
            <zip>456644</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
</student>';
 
$xmldata = simplexml_load_string($xml);

$jsondata = json_encode($xmldata);
print_r($jsondata);
 
?>

2. Example:

Input:

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<student>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 1</firstname>
            <city>kakumanu</city>
            <zip>522112</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 2</firstname>
            <city>guntur</city>
            <zip>522112</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 3</firstname>
            <city>ponnur</city>
            <zip>456345</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
    <details>
        <address>
            <firstname>Soltuts 4</firstname>
            <city>noida</city>
            <zip>456644</zip>
        </address>
    </details>
</student>';

Output:

{
    "details": [
        { 
            "address": { 
            "firstname": "Soltuts 1", 
            "city": "kakumanu", 
            "zip": "522112" 
        }},
        { 
            "address": { 
            "firstname": "Soltuts 2", 
            "city": "guntur", 
            "zip": "522112" 
        }},
        { "address": { 
            "firstname": "Soltuts 3", 
            "city": "ponnur", 
            "zip": "456345" 
        }},
        { "address": { 
            "firstname": "Soltuts 4", 
            "city": "noida", 
            "zip": "456644" 
        }}
    ]
}
