How can i convert an xml file into JSON using python?

You can try to use xmljson. The code for the same is 

from xmljson import badgerfish as bf
from xml.etree.ElementTree import fromstring
s = '''<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>
   <to>Tove</to>
   <from>Jani</from>
   <heading>Reminder</heading>
   <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>'''
json.dumps(bf.data(fromstring(s)))

Another option is xmltodict (full disclosure: I wrote it). It can help you convert your XML to a dict+list+string structure, following this "standard". It is Expat-based, so it's very fast and doesn't need to load the whole XML tree in memory.

Once you have that data structure, you can serialize it to JSON:

import xmltodict, json

o = xmltodict.parse('<e> <a>text</a> <a>text</a> </e>')
json.dumps(o) # '{"e": {"a": ["text", "text"]}}'

This is probably what you are looking for:

https://github.com/mutaku/xml2json

import xml2json

s = '''<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>
   <to>Tove</to>
   <from>Jani</from>
   <heading>Reminder</heading>
   <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>'''
print xml2json.xml2json(s)
