In this tutorial you will learn how to convert json to xml or xml to json in java.
While programming we may come across a situation where we have to convert json to xml or vice versa. JSON.org provides a library that can be used for this conversion process in just one line of code.
Below I have shared examples to do this.
Download the json java library from below link and import in your project.
Link: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json
If you don’t know how to import a library in java then you can read below article.

Convert JSON to XML in Java
Just pass the given json object in XML.toString() method to convert it into xml data.
package com;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.XML;
public class JSONToXML {
public static void main(String...s){
String json_data = "{\"student\":{\"name\":\"Neeraj Mishra\", \"age\":\"22\"}}";
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json_data);
//converting json to xml
String xml_data = XML.toString(obj);
System.out.println(xml_data);
}
}
Output
<student><name>Neeraj Mishra</name><age>22</age></student>
Convert XML to JSON in Java
Just pass the xml data into XML.toJSONObject() method to convert it into json object.
package com;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.json.XML;
public class XMLToJSON {
public static void main(String...s){
String xml_data = "<student><name>Neeraj Mishra</name><age>22</age></student>";
//converting xml to json
JSONObject obj = XML.toJSONObject(xml_data);
System.out.println(obj.toString());
}
}
Output
{“student”:{“name”:”Neeraj Mishra”,”age”:22}}

Is there any way to maintain order while transforming JSON to XML. I have a Input JSON file. But when I convert it into XML, the order will be changed. I was searching solution from past 2 days. I tried in mule as well as in Java but it won’t work. This is the Input JSON data.
{
“status” : “success”,
“response” : {
“p_status_msg” : {
“contact” : {
“contactlist” : [{
“address” : “90 Grove St., Newport ME 04953; United States of America”,
“grp” : “ADDRESS”,
“pidm” : “”,
“type” : “Home (preferred)”
}, {
“address” : “john.adams@mma.edu”,
“grp” : “EMAIL”,
“pidm” : “”,
“type” : “Academy Email”
}, {
“address” : “wolfbat4813@gmail.com”,
“grp” : “EMAIL”,
“pidm” : “”,
“type” : “Email”
}, {
“address” : “(207) 341-3018”,
“grp” : “PHONE”,
“pidm” : “”,
“type” : “Cell Phone”
}
],
“contact” : {
“studentid” : “P000020581”,
“dateofbirth” : “07/07/1995”,
“firstname” : “John”,
“socialsecuritynumber” : “005961046”,
“gender” : “M”,
“middlename” : “Q.”,
“lastname” : “Adams”
}
}
}
}
}
Please help me out. Thanks!!!
Yes you can maintain the order.
Once the program gives you have the output result, copy and paste it a notepad and then cut paste the data to bring it in correct order.
Underscore-java library has methods xmlToJson and jsonToXml.

Your question is not clear at all – which probably explains why noone has helped answer your question.
Kishore Diyyana:
For Spring Boot App to Ignore Case for JSON attributes names:
Step 1: Make sure your POJO/Domain/Model class has constructor with respective parameters, remove any zero arg constructor. Step 2: Add Jackson lib as dependency Ex:
com.fasterxml.jackson.module
jackson-module-jaxb-annotations
2.6.5
Step 3: Enable in application.properties file as below spring.jackson.mapper.accept_case_insensitive_properties=true
