我不确定这样的转换有什么意义(是的，很多人这样做，但主要是强迫一个方钉通过圆孔)——有结构阻抗不匹配，转换是有损的。所以我建议不要进行这种格式到格式的转换。

但如果你这样做，首先从json转换到对象，然后从对象转换到xml(反之亦然)。进行直接转换会导致丑陋的输出、信息丢失，或者两者兼而有之。

下面是将xml转换为json的完整c#代码

public static class JSon
{
public static string XmlToJSON(string xml)

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml(xml);

    return XmlToJSON(doc);

    sbJSON.Append("{ ");
    XmlToJSONnode(sbJSON, xmlDoc.DocumentElement, true);
    sbJSON.Append("}");
    return sbJSON.ToString();
}

//  XmlToJSONnode:  Output an XmlElement, possibly as part of a higher array
private static void XmlToJSONnode(StringBuilder sbJSON, XmlElement node, bool showNodeName)
{
    if (showNodeName)
        sbJSON.Append("\"" + SafeJSON(node.Name) + "\": ");
    sbJSON.Append("{");
    // Build a sorted list of key-value pairs
    //  where   key is case-sensitive nodeName
    //          value is an ArrayList of string or XmlElement
    //  so that we know whether the nodeName is an array or not.
    SortedList<string, object> childNodeNames = new SortedList<string, object>();

    //  Add in all node attributes
    if (node.Attributes != null)
        foreach (XmlAttribute attr in node.Attributes)
            StoreChildNode(childNodeNames, attr.Name, attr.InnerText);

        else if (cnode is XmlElement)
            StoreChildNode(childNodeNames, cnode.Name, cnode);
    }

    // Now output all stored info
    foreach (string childname in childNodeNames.Keys)
    {
        List<object> alChild = (List<object>)childNodeNames[childname];
        if (alChild.Count == 1)
            OutputNode(childname, alChild[0], sbJSON, true);
        else
        {

            foreach (object Child in alChild)
                OutputNode(childname, Child, sbJSON, false);
            sbJSON.Remove(sbJSON.Length - 2, 2);
            sbJSON.Append(" ], ");
        }
    }
    sbJSON.Remove(sbJSON.Length - 2, 2);
    sbJSON.Append(" }");
}

//  StoreChildNode: Store data associated with each nodeName
//                  so that we know whether the nodeName is an array or not.
private static void StoreChildNode(SortedList<string, object> childNodeNames, string nodeName, object nodeValue)
{
    // Pre-process contraction of XmlElement-s
    if (nodeValue is XmlElement)
    {
        // Convert  <aa></aa> into "aa":null
        //          <aa>xx</aa> into "aa":"xx"
        XmlNode cnode = (XmlNode)nodeValue;
        if (cnode.Attributes.Count == 0)
        {
            XmlNodeList children = cnode.ChildNodes;
            if (children.Count == 0)
                nodeValue = null;
            else if (children.Count == 1 && (children[0] is XmlText))
                nodeValue = ((XmlText)(children[0])).InnerText;
        }
    }
    // Add nodeValue to ArrayList associated with each nodeName
    // If nodeName doesn't exist then add it
    List<object> ValuesAL;

    if (childNodeNames.ContainsKey(nodeName))
    {
        ValuesAL = (List<object>)childNodeNames[nodeName];
    }
    else
    {
        ValuesAL = new List<object>();
        childNodeNames[nodeName] = ValuesAL;
    }
    ValuesAL.Add(nodeValue);
}

private static void OutputNode(string childname, object alChild, StringBuilder sbJSON, bool showNodeName)
{
    if (alChild == null)
    {
        if (showNodeName)
            sbJSON.Append("\"" + SafeJSON(childname) + "\": ");
        sbJSON.Append("null");
    }
    else if (alChild is string)

    }
    else
        XmlToJSONnode(sbJSON, (XmlElement)alChild, showNodeName);

// Make a string safe for JSON

        {
            int ich = (int)ch;
            sbOut.Append(@"\u" + ich.ToString("x4"));
            continue;
        }
        else if (ch == '\"' || ch == '\\' || ch == '/')
        {
            sbOut.Append('\\');
        }
        sbOut.Append(ch);
    }
    return sbOut.ToString();
 }
}

要将给定的XML字符串转换为JSON，只需如下所示调用XmlToJSON()函数。

string xml = "<menu id=\"file\" value=\"File\"> " +
              "<popup>" +
                "<menuitem value=\"New\" onclick=\"CreateNewDoc()\" />" +
                "<menuitem value=\"Open\" onclick=\"OpenDoc()\" />" +
                "<menuitem value=\"Close\" onclick=\"CloseDoc()\" />" +
              "</popup>" +
            "</menu>";

string json = JSON.XmlToJSON(xml);
// json = { "menu": {"id": "file", "popup": { "menuitem": [ {"onclick": "CreateNewDoc()", "value": "New" }, {"onclick": "OpenDoc()", "value": "Open" }, {"onclick": "CloseDoc()", "value": "Close" } ] }, "value": "File" }}

下面是一个简单的代码片段，它将XmlNode(递归地)转换为哈希表，并将同一子节点的多个实例分组到一个数组中(作为ArrayList)。 大多数JSON库通常接受哈希表转换为JSON。

protected object convert(XmlNode root){
    Hashtable obj = new Hashtable();
    for(int i=0,n=root.ChildNodes.Count;i<n;i++){
        object result = null;
        XmlNode current = root.ChildNodes.Item(i);

        if(current.NodeType != XmlNodeType.Text)
            result = convert(current);
        else{
            int resultInt;
            double resultFloat;
            bool resultBoolean;
            if(Int32.TryParse(current.Value, out resultInt)) return resultInt;
            if(Double.TryParse(current.Value, out resultFloat)) return resultFloat;
            if(Boolean.TryParse(current.Value, out resultBoolean)) return resultBoolean;
            return current.Value;
        }

        if(obj[current.Name] == null)
            obj[current.Name] = result;
        else if(obj[current.Name].GetType().Equals(typeof(ArrayList)))
            ((ArrayList)obj[current.Name]).Add(result);
        else{
            ArrayList collision = new ArrayList();
            collision.Add(obj[current.Name]);
            collision.Add(result);
            obj[current.Name] = collision;
        }
    }

    return obj;
}

Cinchoo ETL -一个开放源码库，只需几行代码就可以轻松地将Xml转换为JSON

Xml -> JSON:

using (var p = new ChoXmlReader("sample.xml"))
{
    using (var w = new ChoJSONWriter("sample.json"))
    {
        w.Write(p);
    }
}

JSON -> Xml

using (var p = new ChoJsonReader("sample.json"))
{
    using (var w = new ChoXmlWriter("sample.xml"))
    {
        w.Write(p);
    }
}

试试这个函数。我刚刚写了它，还没有太多机会测试它，但我的初步测试是有希望的。

public static XmlDocument JsonToXml(string json)
{
    XmlNode newNode = null;
    XmlNode appendToNode = null;
    XmlDocument returnXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    returnXmlDoc.LoadXml("<Document />");
    XmlNode rootNode = returnXmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Document");
    appendToNode = rootNode;

    string[] arrElementData;
    string[] arrElements = json.Split('\r');
    foreach (string element in arrElements)
    {
        string processElement = element.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\t", "").Trim();
        if ((processElement.IndexOf("}") > -1 || processElement.IndexOf("]") > -1) && appendToNode != rootNode)
        {
            appendToNode = appendToNode.ParentNode;
        }
        else if (processElement.IndexOf("[") > -1)
        {
            processElement = processElement.Replace(":", "").Replace("[", "").Replace("\"", "").Trim();
            newNode = returnXmlDoc.CreateElement(processElement);
            appendToNode.AppendChild(newNode);
            appendToNode = newNode;
        }
        else if (processElement.IndexOf("{") > -1 && processElement.IndexOf(":") > -1)
        {
            processElement = processElement.Replace(":", "").Replace("{", "").Replace("\"", "").Trim();
            newNode = returnXmlDoc.CreateElement(processElement);
            appendToNode.AppendChild(newNode);
            appendToNode = newNode;
        }
        else
        {
            if (processElement.IndexOf(":") > -1)
            {
                arrElementData = processElement.Replace(": \"", ":").Replace("\",", "").Replace("\"", "").Split(':');
                newNode = returnXmlDoc.CreateElement(arrElementData[0]);
                for (int i = 1; i < arrElementData.Length; i++)
                {
                    newNode.InnerText += arrElementData[i];
                }

                appendToNode.AppendChild(newNode);
            }
        }
    }

    return returnXmlDoc;
}

感谢David Brown的回答。在JSON的例子中。Net 3.5中，转换方法在JsonConvert静态类下:

XmlNode myXmlNode = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(myJsonString); // is node not note
// or .DeserilizeXmlNode(myJsonString, "root"); // if myJsonString does not have a root
string jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(myXmlNode);
