Hi Andres,
This is what I tried, on jdk 1.4

<pre>
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.XML;
import net.sf.json.xml.XMLSerializer;


public class JsonTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String xmlStr ="<index><magazine>mag</magazine><issueDate
/><promotions
/><featureSet><features><sequence>1</sequence><style>set1</style><featuresHeader></featuresHeader><feature><style
/></feature></features><features><sequence>2</sequence><style>set2</style><featuresHeader/><feature>
<style /></feature><feature>    <style /></feature><feature>    <style
/></feature></features><features><sequence>3</sequence><style>set2</style><featuresHeader/><feature>
<style /></feature><feature>    <style /></feature><feature>    <style
/></feature></features><features><sequence>4</sequence><style>set2</style><featuresHeader/><feature>
<style /></feature><feature>    <style /></feature><feature>    <style
/></feature></features></featureSet><relatedLinks /></index>";

        XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer();
        xmlSerializer.setForceTopLevelObject(true);
        xmlSerializer.setTypeHintsCompatibility(false);
        xmlSerializer.setTypeHintsEnabled(false);
        xmlSerializer.setSkipWhitespace(true);

        System.out.println("java.class.path: "+System.getProperty("
java.class.path"));
        System.out.println("xmlSerializer.read:
"+xmlSerializer.read(xmlStr));

        try {
            System.out.println("XML.toJSONObject:
"+XML.toJSONObject(xmlStr));
        } catch (JSONException e) {
        }
    }
}
</pre>

Output:
java.class.path: C:\Documents and
Settings\workspace\Temp\bin;I:\.maven\repository\ezmorph\jars\ezmorph-
1.0.4.jar;I:\.maven\repository\commons-collections\jars\commons-

INFO: Using default type string
xmlSerializer.read:
{"magazine":"mag","issueDate":[],"promotions":[],"featureSet":[{"sequence":"1","style":"set1","featuresHeader":[],"feature":[[]]},{"sequence":"2","style":"set2","featuresHeader":[],"feature":[[],[[]],[[]]]},{"sequence":"3","style":"set2","featuresHeader":[],"feature":[[],[[]],[[]]]},{"sequence":"4","style":"set2","featuresHeader":[],"feature":[[],[[]],[[]]]}],"relatedLinks":[]}
XML.toJSONObject:
{"index":{"featureSet":{"features":[{"style":"set1","featuresHeader":"","feature":{"style":{}},"sequence":"1"},{"style":"set2","featuresHeader":{},"feature":[{"style":{}},{"style":{}},{"style":{}}],"sequence":"2"},{"style":"set2","featuresHeader":{},"feature":[{"style":{}},{"style":{}},{"style":{}}],"sequence":"3"},{"style":"set2","featuresHeader":{},"feature":[{"style":{}},{"style":{}},{"style":{}}],"sequence":"4"}]},"promotions":{},"magazine":"mag","issueDate":{},"relatedLinks":{}}}

Notice that <index> and <features> nodes are missing in the string generated
by xmlSerializer.read.

Thanks,
