Converting XML to JSON with empty CDATA #15

Closed maheshh14 closed 11 years ago

While we try processing an XML to convert to JSON, the process crashes with an IndexOutOfBoundsException exception.

Example XML data: `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

`

This happens to be a problem during XSLT transformation, which fails to read the XML (probably a bug in Xerces/Xalan). This is not a StAXON issue:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

To get around this, you may want to use the StAX Event API instead to do the conversion. See https://github.com/beckchr/staxon/wiki/Converting-XML-to-JSON for an example.

It works well now.

Thank you for the help :)
