questions
How are JSON arrays converted to XML?
Each array item is wrapped in an element named after the parent key (singularized). For example, "books": [{...}, {...}] becomes <book>...</book><book>...</book>.
Can I control the root element name?
Yes. If your JSON has a single top-level key, that key is used as the root element automatically. Otherwise, use the root_element parameter to specify a custom name.
How do I add XML attributes?
Prefix JSON keys with @ to convert them to XML attributes. For example, {"@id": "1", "name": "test"} becomes <root id="1"><name>test</name></root>.
