Re: [go-nuts] xml to json, parsing xml
Oops, I didn't look carefully at the json output of my little program. It does sometimes emit arrays. For example: go build xmlparse.go ./xmlparse -url 'https://news.google.com/atom' This produces what, for some part, represents acceptable json. The exceptions are the atom entries that would still require, I think, another pass to fix up the go structure unless someone applies a priori knowledge of the xml structure when building it.

Re: [go-nuts] xml to json, parsing xml
I agree. The link that I sent demonstrates one very simple way. Mapping XML with repetitive tag sets to JSON arrays, though, would take a bit of work meaning, I think, at least two passes.

[go-nuts] Re: xml to json, parsing xml
Disclaimer - I am very new to golang. I puzzled about this for a few days. After some struggle, I got a little program working that parses arbitrary xml into a structure that json can understand.
