Convert an XML String to a JSON Object Object

I'm trying to convert an XML string to a JSON object. I used net.sf.json, but it strips away the root element.

XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer();
net.sf.json.JSON netsfJSON = xmlSerializer.read(xml);

I also tried org.json.XML

JSONObject jsonObject=XML.toJSONObject(xml);

but it doesn't differentiate the attributes from the elements. Is there anything else I can use or are there some settings in the two libraries above?

After createing the XMLSerializer object you need to set the forceTopLevelObject property to true due to the fact that the default setting is false. 

XMLSerializer xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer();

xmlSerializer.setForceTopLevelObject(true);

Hope this helps.
