Dynamic object for XML or XML to JSON string converter

A direct conversion XML->JSON (besides XML->object->JSON) would make some implementations way easier.

Searching for information in JSON or Dynamic objects is way easier than in XML.


I am developing an API that receives many different kinds of XML, and I need to transform them into a specific structure of persistent data, so if I have to create a class for each kind of XML that it should receive, the implementation will be gigantic.

    There is no direct transformation from XML to JSON, the formats are different

    But, there are various Python ways to do it, so, I don't see any need for ObjectScript implementations
