put XML document in json

[MD]

I want to put the xml document into the JSON like the following.

[
{
"id" : "123333",
"xmldoc": "<? xml version=\"1.0\" ?><data><link></link></data>";
},
{
"id" : "123334",
"xmldoc": "<? xml version=\"1.0\" ?><data><link></link></data>";
},
]

However, usually my xml document has new line for the xml document. Is there
any option to skip the new line in the JSON or I just have to remove them
manually .

Well, I turn all my server side outputs into JASONized XML
and turn them back into XML after I receive them in the browser.

Below is an example ( albeit a bulky one ) from one of my
server side proxies as a result of fetching a CNN news feed
http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_world.rss

It provides me with both the JASONized XML from the RSS feed
and two callback functions. One for the javascript widget that
initiated the request and another for the connection manger
that retries failed/timed out requests.

Thanks for reply,

However, I don't want to conver to any format but json.
We have xml document for each record in oracle xml type,
I just want to get it and pass to the browser from servlet as a search
result.

[

{
"id" : "123333",
"xmldoc": "<? xml version=\"1.0\" ?><data><link></link></data>";
},
{
"id" : "123334",
"xmldoc": "<? xml version=\"1.0\" ?><data><link></link></data>";
},
]

Both your sample here and the one I gave are JASON.
Mine is just all squeezed on one line, and has a couple of
javascript calls tacked on the end.

The other thing that differs between our approaches
is that on the browser side , a single call to
my JASON2XML() function turns my JASON result sets
no matter the query back into XML that can be used with XSLT and
other facilities in the browser.

The orginal basic question you had I believe was about
newlines. Answer: ( don't use them )

The big sample result was just so you could see a live example
and notice not only that is was devoid of newlines, but
possibly answer other questions you might come across by having a live
sample to reference.

Just for future reference, it's JSON (I went to school with a Jason,
though). Wouldn't want you to put JASON on a job application or
anything, might loose some "cred" with the employer...

I once had a friend ask me if I'd heard anything about some new
technology called Rudy on Rails. I snickered (inside of course).

I am not sure I understand the problem, if you build JSON with
<http://www.json.org/json.js>
then the result you get for e.g.
var s = ['<gods>', '<god>Kibo</god>', '</gods>'].join('\r\n');
var obj = { xml: s };
obj.toJSONString()
is
{"xml":"<gods>\r\n<god>Kibo</god>\r\n</gods>"}
so all line break/carriage return characters are properly escaped.
Simply use that library or the proper library for other languages (e.g.
PHP) to create your JSON data and line breaks/carriage returns in
strings (of XML or otherwise) should not be a problem, they will simply
be escaped as needed.

I think the OP's newline issue might actually be related not so much to
the data itself , but rather spreading the JSON syntax over multiple
lines of source which can cause parsing issues.

I think JSON allows white space like line breaks between
tokens/delimiters: <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627>

While I'm all for the specs , the various parsers of the
various content types over the years don't always share
my appreciation for same, so over time I just code along
a path that makes as many of them happy as possible.

In this instance , no newlines.
