Possible Duplicate:
PHP convert XML to JSON

Here is what my a sample of my output XML looks like:

<item>
 <Barcode>0602527522593</Barcode>
 <albumid>1818</albumid>
 <Title>Gold</Title>
 <Country>Sweden</Country>
 <Format>CD</Format>
 <Length></Length>
 <Number_of_Discs></Number_of_Discs>
 <Type>album</Type>
 <Description></Description>
 <Band_or_Artist>Adams, Ryan</Band_or_Artist>
</item>

Is there an easy to use built-in PHP function or add-in to quickly convert this to JSON and output it? If it’s not built-in, which extension should I use?

    You can use SimpleXML (http://php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php) to read the XML input and then json_encode (http://php.net/manual/en/book.json.php) to create the output.

    You probably just want to iterate over the node list and put everything in an array using the tag names as keys, should be fairly simple.
