anyone knows How to parse xml into json I tried Sweetyxml but its not converting xml into json.
Using this gist
https://gist.github.com/spint/40717d4e6912d8cea929
Reading json
{:ok, xmldoc} = File.read(Path.expand("/Users/sohaibanwar/Desktop/unconfirmed_order.xml"))

{doc, []} = xmldoc |> to_charlist() |> :xmerl_scan.string()
After parsing (in screenshot), but not getting right answer
