public static JSONObject toJSONObject(String string)

JSON does not does not like to distinguish between elements and attributes. Sequences of similar elements are represented as JSONArrays. Content text may be placed in a "content" member. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored.

Parameters: string The source string.

Returns: A JSONObject containing the structured data from the XML string.

Throws: JSONException
