Why do attributes look different in the JSON?

XML attributes have no direct JSON equivalent. Converters typically prefix them (e.g. @id for attribute id) or nest them under a special key. The convention varies by tool — check the output structure before consuming it.

Can all XML be converted to JSON?

Most XML can, but mixed content (text interspersed with child elements, like Hello world ) is awkward in JSON and requires array conventions. Namespaces and processing instructions may also be lost or represented differently.
