Frequently asked questions

What happens to JSON keys that start with @?

Keys starting with @ become XML attributes on the parent element, matching common JSON→XML conventions.

Are special characters escaped?

Yes — & < > are escaped in text and quotes in attributes, so any string content is safe.

What if my JSON has multiple root keys?

The output is wrapped in a <root> element, since XML permits exactly one root element.
