## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you convert this XML string to JSON for me? `<book id="1"><title><![CDATA[Hello & World]]></title><price>9.99</price></book>` — I need attributes preserved as @attr keys and values auto-typed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a reliable, algorithmic XML-to-JSON conversion that preserves all XML attributes (as @attr), handles CDATA transparently, and auto-types leaf values — especially useful for processing XML API responses or config files before further JSON manipulation.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or invalid XML input returns a parse error
- Empty xml_string parameter causes a validation failure
- Extremely large XML strings may time out or be rejected
- Encoding issues (e.g. non-UTF-8) may cause unexpected output

## How this service works

Parse XML string to JSON. Preserves attributes (as @attr), handles CDATA, auto-types values. Algorithmic.

## Output

A JSON representation of the XML string, with element attributes mapped to @attr keys, CDATA sections unwrapped, and values auto-typed (e.g. numeric strings become numbers, booleans recognized).
