There is no accepted mapping of JSON to XML. There's a lot of people who 
have made a stab at converting XML to JSON to varying degrees of 
success. There are a few people who have tried to convert JSON to XML 
but their methods can only handle a subset of JSON documents, or give a 
mapping that is not 1-1.

I've recently been researching this, because it seems obvious that 
languages like XQuery should easily be able to handle JSON processing. 
I've come up with a 1-1 mapping of JSON to XML, and have been adding 
extension functions to XQilla in order to translate back and forth.

I should probably write my work up to get some feedback on it.
