Convert XML into JSON format for element templates

[aman-godara-ria]

Is there any way to convert XML file full of bpmn tasks into tasks in JSON format to feed in for making element templates?

The .bpmn file I have, has many such tasks in it:

<bpmn:callActivity id=“proposalUnderwriting_P1” name=“Underwriting (LT)” calledElement=“ProposalUnderwritingTask_DemoP1”>
bpmn:extensionElements
<camunda:in variables=“all” />
<camunda:out variables=“all” />
<camunda:in businessKey=“#{proposalId}” />
</bpmn:extensionElements>
</bpmn:callActivity>

when I convert it into .json format for feeding in as element template it looks something similar (not exactly) to this:

{
        "$schema": "https://unpkg.com/@camunda/element-templates-json-schema/resources/schema.json",
        "name": "Underwriting (LT)",
        "id": "proposalUnderwriting_P1",
        "version": 1,
        "description": "Underwriting (LT) call activity",
        "category": {
            "id": "distribution",
            "name": "Distribution"
        },
        "appliesTo": ["bpmn:CallActivity"],
        "properties": [
            {
                "label": "Business Key",
                "type": "String",
                "binding": {
                    "type": "camunda:in",
                    "businessKey": "${proposalId}"
                }
            },
            {
                "label": "Input all",
                "type": "Hidden",
                "binding": {
                    "type": "camunda:in",
                    "variables": "all"
                }
            },
            {
                "label": "Output all",
                "type": "Hidden",
                "binding": {
                    "type": "camunda:out",
                    "variables": "all"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

Is there any way to programmatically convert a task in .bpmn format into a task in .json format for feeding as element template.

I came across some posts around converting XML to JSON but they were obsolete, so I thought to ask this again. May be they were asked in a different context than element templates.

I used ChatGPT to help me convert XML to JSON. At first I had to give ChatGPT few examples of conversion and then it very intelligently picked up on how to convert XML to JSON.

Then I kept feeding it inputs one by one and got results back. As of now I am not aware of any other solution, hence marking this as the solution.
