How does the JSON/XML converter work?
XML element names rules:
- Element name must start with a letter, an underscore
_, or a colon:. - After the initial character, the name can contain letters, digits, hyphens
-, underscores_, colons:, and periods.. - Characters cannot be used in element names
<,>,&,", and'. - Cannot contain whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, etc.).
If JSON is valid, after conversion, we add a declaration with version 1.0 and encoding UTF-8, wrap everything in a root tag. All whitespace is removed, and invalid characters will be replaced by an underscore. XML will be formatted with the indentation specified in the settings.
Input:

"Annie Fitzgerald": [],
"Anwan Glover": [
"Treme",
"The Wire"
],
"Alexander Skarsg?rd": [
"Generation Kill",
"True Blood"
]
}
