Why Convert XML to JSON?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) are both widely used data interchange formats. However, JSON is often preferred in web development because:

Lightweight: JSON is typically more compact compared to XML, leading to faster parsing.

Easy to read and write: JSON's syntax is closer to that of JavaScript, making it more intuitive for developers.

Better integration with modern APIs: Many APIs today use JSON for data interchange.

Despite these advantages, XML is still in use, especially in legacy systems and various data feeds, which is why converting it to JSON might be essential.
