Transform XML fragments into JSON. The target of this module is to create a straight-forward Javasript representation of data-centric XML. It does not try to handle mixed content nodes (with a mix of elements and text).

Special rules

The root element will be absorbed, i.e. <root>text</root> becomes "text".

Child elements with the same name are added to an array.

If an element has attribute and text content, the text content becomes a property, e.g. '#text': 'my text'.

In mixed content nodes, text nodes will be dropped.

An empty element becomes 'null', i.e. <e/> becomes {"e": null}.

An element with a single text child becomes a property with the value of the text child, i.e. <e>text</e> becomes {"e": "text"}

If the attribute json:literal="true" is present on an element, then its text value is considered literal and not quoted as a string. Useful for boolean and numberic values!
