Since XML can have attributes and children, it's not as easy to convert to JSON.
Your JSON example is more akin to:
Hmm, so in tree terms, each node has two distinct types of children, only one of which can have their own children. That sounds more ambiguity-introducing than helpful to me, but that's just a matter of taste. Can you do lists in XML as well?
No arrays are not allowed. Attributes can only be strings. But the children are kind of an array.
