Are there any common conventions in converting between XML and JSON when precise backward convertibility is desired?
For example I’ve googled to a website which adds - to XML tag attributes to be encoded in JSON and represents multiple same-tag XML entries as an array named exactly the tag name (in singular form), are these ways accepted any widely or specific to that website?
There are a number of conventions in use. Those that produce the most usable JSON tend to sacrifice round-tripping; those that are lossless (and can handle arbitrary XML) tend to produce JSON that is difficult to process.
