I'm sure I read an article somewhere that suggested XML attributes in JSON
would be prefixed with @, and a text node would have a name that was illegal
in XML, such as "$".  With that convention it's quite easy to have some JSON
data and convert it to XML, e.g.:

"foo" : { "@id" : "???", "$" : "yyy" }

gives:

<foo id="???">yyy</foo>

What seems to be more difficult is going the other way, i.e XML to JSON.
After a bit of surfing some things called Badgerfish and mapping popped up a
few times.  However, it does get a bit messy, especially when handling
namespaces.
