It implements six standardized conventions (Abdera, BadgerFish, Cobra, GData, Parker, and Yahoo) for how XML attributes, text content, and nested elements map to JSON-like dictionary structures. The library is pure Python with no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install.\n\nThe package is no longer actively maintained\u2014the last release was in April 2020 and the repository is now archived. The author explicitly recommends alternatives like xmltodict and untangle for new projects. Use xmljson only if you need to parse XML using one of its specific conventions, or if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining existing code that depends on it. The package is abandoned (last release April 2020, repository archived), receives no security updates, and the author recommends xmltodict or untangle for new projects. Install friction is low and there are no known vulnerabilities, but the lack of maintenance and explicit guidance toward alternatives makes it unsuitable for new development."},"id":"xmljson","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xmljson","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xmljson.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xmljson/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"xmljson","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Converts XML into JSON/Python dicts/arrays and vice-versa."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1049180,"position":4445,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
