XML To JSON Converter

Have the following jars in the classpath,

 commons-beanutils-1.6.1.jar
 commons-collections-3.2.jar
 commons-lang-2.1.jar
 commons-logging-1.1.jar
 ezmorph-1.0.4.jar
 json-lib-2.3-jdk15.jar
 xom-1.0.jar

import net.sf.json.JSON;
import net.sf.json.xml.XMLSerializer;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class XML2JSONConverter {
    public String convertXMLTOJSON(String inputXML) {
        String jsonString = "";
        try {
            JSON objJson = new XMLSerializer().read(inputXML);
            jsonString = objJson.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return jsonString;
    }

    static String convertStreamToString(java.io.InputStream is) {
        java.util.Scanner s = new java.util.Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A");
        return s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File inputFile = new File("input xml file path");
        InputStream inputStreams = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
        XML2JSONConverter toJASON = new XML2JSONConverter();
        System.out.println("JASON Object:" + toJASON.convertXMLTOJSON(convertStreamToString(inputStreams)));
    }
}

Java InputStream to String Covertion

Found this small method to convert InputStream to String, This will help to avoid using Apache IOUtils etc.,

 static String convertStreamToString(java.io.InputStream is) {
        java.util.Scanner s = new java.util.Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A");
        return s.hasNext() ? s.next() : "";
    }
