Convert json to xml

Hello everyone,

I have created a workflow that will pull down data via a RESTful API in JSON, then my code parses and modifies said data. The problem I have is that these APIs I am working with only accept XML to PUT/POST data, and I am looking for an easy way to convert my JSON file to XML.

I did a search on the forums here and google searched a bit and did not find a solution to my problem yet. My preferred language is shell/bash, and while I did find some Python code that does this, my whole work flow is written in shell and uses jq.

Any ideas on how to convert a JSON file to XML in bash? I am hoping I don't have to build the XML on the fly and can just convert it.

I am working on OS X and Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu 14 if that matters. My computer is a Mac that has several VMs of Linux running.

NAME
XML::Grove::AsCanonXML - output XML objects in canonical XML SYNOPSIS
use XML::Grove::AsCanonXML; # Using as_canon_xml method on XML::Grove objects: $string = $xml_object->as_canon_xml( OPTIONS ); # Using an XML::Grove::AsCanonXML instance: $writer = XML::Grove::AsCanonXML->new( OPTIONS ); $string = $writer->as_canon_xml($xml_object); $writer->as_canon_xml($xml_object, $file_handle); DESCRIPTION
"XML::Grove::AsCanonXML" will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML object and it's content (if any). "XML::Grove::AsCanonXML" objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects. Options can be supplied when the the object is created, $writer = XML::Grove::AsCanonXML->new( Comments => 1 ); or modified at any time before writing an XML object by setting the option directly in the `$writer' hash. OPTIONS
