Before diving into the code, let’s briefly understand Base64 encoding. It’s a method to encode binary data, like images, into ASCII characters. Each character represents six bits of the original data, making it easily transferable via text protocols.
To convert JSON to XML for a Base64-encoded file, you can use the following Python code:
import json import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET import base64
def json_to_xml(json_data): root = ET.Element(“root”) parse_json(root, json_data) return ET.tostring(root, encoding=“utf-8”, method=“xml”).decode()
def parse_json(parent, data): if isinstance(data, dict): for key, value in data.items(): child = ET.SubElement(parent, key) parse_json(child, value) elif isinstance(data, list): for item in data: parse_json(parent, item) else: parent.text = str(data)
def encode_base64_file(file_path): with open(file_path, “rb”) as file: encoded_data = base64.b64encode(file.read()).decode() return encoded_data
file_path = “path/to/your/file.json” json_data = json.loads(base64.b64decode(encode_base64_file(file_path)).decode()) xml_result = json_to_xml(json_data) print(xml_result)
For converting JSON data passed as a Base64-encoded string:
import json import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET import base64
def json_to_xml(json_data): root = ET.Element(“root”) parse_json(root, json_data) return ET.tostring(root, encoding=“utf-8”, method=“xml”).decode()
def parse_json(parent, data): if isinstance(data, dict): for key, value in data.items(): child = ET.SubElement(parent, key) parse_json(child, value) elif isinstance(data, list): for item in data: parse_json(parent, item) else: parent.text = str(data)
def decode_base64_data(base64_string): decoded_data = base64.b64decode(base64_string).decode() return json.loads(decoded_data)
base64_data = “your_base64_encoded_data_here” json_data = decode_base64_data(base64_data) xml_result = json_to_xml(json_data) print(xml_result)
