Bug description: JSON encode simplexml object loses attributes on leaf nodes
Description:
------------
If you json encode a simplexml object, any xml leaf nodes will lose
their attributes
The attached script has two small xml strings. One with attributes
on the leaf node, one without.
When you run the script, attribute values disappear for the second
json string
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xml_string1 = '<?xml version="1.0"?><ItemList><Item
ID="456"><ExtraTag>ABC</ExtraTag></Item><Item
ID="789"><ExtraTag>DEF</ExtraTag></Item></ItemList>';
$xml_string2 = '<?xml version="1.0"?><ItemList><Item
ID="456">ABC</Item><Item ID="789">DEF</Item></ItemList>';
$xml_obj = simplexml_load_string($xml_string1);
$json = json_encode($xml_obj);
print "Input XML Document: " . htmlentities($xml_string1) .
"<br/>attributes are present:<br/>$json<br/><br/>";
$xml_obj = simplexml_load_string($xml_string2);
$json = json_encode($xml_obj);
print "Input XML Document: " . htmlentities($xml_string2) .
"<br/>attributes are <b>Not</b> present:<br/>$json<br/><br/>";
phpinfo();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Input XML Document: <?xml version="1.0"?><ItemList><Item
ID="456"><ExtraTag>ABC</ExtraTag></Item><Item
ID="789"><ExtraTag>DEF</ExtraTag></Item></ItemList>
attributes are present:
{"Item":[{"@attributes":{"ID":"456"},"ExtraTag":"ABC"},{"@attributes"
:{"ID":"789"},"ExtraTag":"DEF"}]}
Input XML Document: <?xml version="1.0"?><ItemList><Item
ID="456">ABC</Item><Item ID="789">DEF</Item></ItemList>
attributes are Not present:
{"Item":["ABC","DEF"]}
Actual result:
--------------
json string above labeled with "attributes are present:" is correctly
json encoded.
json string above labeled with "attributes are Not present:" is
incorrectly json encoded. The json object does not have the
attribute name or values
