Thanks for pointing out. The assumptions stated work for my data, luckily as long as the data is captured, I don't need to differentiate if they are attribute or element and ordering is not required. Those ignored are non pertinent data in my context.

Keith, Hopefully you are aware of some of the pitfalls that you might run into with that approach. But it might be good enough for your particular use case :) >From org.json.XML Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONObject. Some information may be lost in this transformation because JSON is a data format and XML is a document format. XML uses elements, attributes, and content text, while JSON uses unordered collections of name/value pairs and arrays of values. JSON does not does not like to distinguish between elements and attributes. Sequences of similar elements are represented as JSONArrays. Content text may be placed in a "content" member. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored. Thad +ThadGuidry<https://www.google.com/+ThadGuidry>
