Convert data between JSON to IBM's JSONx format.

Because I could.

• JSONx documentation

Don't.

Note that special and escaped characters conversion is unsupported. If you have data with characters than are classifed as such, this will provide invalid JSON/JSONx. If you do not, then all output should in theory be valid.

Also, this library is affected by well-known and documented XML vulnerabilities. So, please, don't use it. Ever. It's a toy library. Use JSON or XML, whichever you fancy, but not both mixed together.

import pathlib

import ibm_jsonx


json_data = """{
  "name":"John Smith",
  "address": {
    "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street",
    "city": "New York",
    "state": "NY",
    "postalCode": 10021,
  },
  "phoneNumbers": [
    "212 555-1111",
    "212 555-2222"
  ],
  "additionalInfo": null,
  "remote": false,
  "height": 62.4,
  "ficoScore": " > 640"
}"""

# Load stringified JSON data
ibm_jsonx.to_jsonx(json_data)

# Also supports loading from/to a PathLike object
ibm_jsonx.to_jsonx(pathlib.Path("json-data.json"), pathlib.Path("jsonx-data.xml"))

# Also works the other direction
ibm_jsonx.from_jsonx(pathlib.Path("jsonx-data.xml"))  # type: str
