How do I Convert jSON to XML

Instead of feeding your function an object, try to feed an array instead:

$jSON = json_decode($raw_data, true);
                            //  ^ add second parameter flag `true`

Example:

function array2xml($array, $xml = false){

    if($xml === false){
        $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<result/>');
    }

    foreach($array as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            array2xml($value, $xml->addChild($key));
        } else {
            $xml->addChild($key, $value);
        }
    }

    return $xml->asXML();
}

$raw_data = file_get_contents('http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pN3QwSHU');
$jSON = json_decode($raw_data, true);

$xml = array2xml($jSON, false);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($xml);

PHP - limit the elements while converting JSON to XML

Please try this. I have added the counter in under if condition where checking value as array

function array_to_xml( $data, &$xml_data ) {
    $counter = 1;
    foreach( $data as $key => $value ) {
        if( is_numeric($key) ){
            $key = 'items'.$key; //dealing with <0/>..<n/> issues
        }
        if( is_array($value) ) {
            if($counter <= 50) {
                $subnode = $xml_data->addChild($key);
                array_to_xml($value, $subnode);
                $counter++;
            }
        } else {
            $xml_data->addChild("$key",htmlspecialchars("$value"));
        }
    }
}

Convert json to xml in php without an online converter

You can convert JSON to array/object by using json_decode(), once you have it inside array you can use any XML Manipulation method to build XML out of it.

For example you may build XML structure like this:

<array>
  <data name="atrribute1">string 1</data>
  <array name="array_atribute">
     <data name="attribute2">string 2</data>
     <data name="attribute2">string 2</data>
  </array>
</array>

By DOMDocument, and method DOMDocument::createElement()

class XMLSerialize {

    protected $dom = null;

    public function serialize( $array)
    {
        $this->dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
        $element = $this->dom->createElement('array');
        $this->dom->appendChild($element);
        $this->addData( $element, $array);
    }

    protected function addData( DOMElement &$element, $array)
    {
        foreach($array as $k => $v){
            $e = null;
            if( is_array( $v)){
                // Add recursive data
                $e = $this->dom->createElement( 'array', $v);
                $e->setAttribute( 'name', $k);       
                $this->addData( $e, $v);

            } else {
                // Add linear data
                $e = $this->dom->createElement( 'data', $v);
                $e->setAttribute( 'name', $k);
            }

            $element->appendChild($e);
        }

    }

    public function get_xml()
    {
         return $this->dom->saveXML();
    }
}

PHP convert XML to JSON

I figured it out. json_encode handles objects differently than strings. I cast the object to a string and it works now.

foreach($xml->children() as $state)
{
    $states[]= array('state' => (string)$state->name); 
}       
echo json_encode($states);
