Hi all, I find the XPath 3.1 function json-to-xml() quite useful. It can convert any JSON input to an XML representation. But I'm not convinced that XPath 3.1's xml-to-json() function (as defined in the spec) is much useful. Taking an example from XPath 3.1 F&O spec, the following XML document <array xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions "><number>1</number><string>is</string><boolean>1</boolean></array> converts into following JSON by the function xml-to-json(), [1,"is",true] (which is fine) But as per the XPath 3.1 F&O spec, simple XML documents like, <root> <val>1</val> <val>2</val> <val>3</val> <val>4</val> </root> cannot be converted into JSON, by the function xml-to-json(), since the XML input doesn't conform to structure like <array>, <number>, <string> etc (which looks to me, a very limited capability given to the xml-to-json() function). Any comments would be useful. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
