Hi, great article. I tried out this converter with the document here: http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/tmx.html#AppSample It converted to JSON fine, but when I converted that back to XML, I ran into a problem: in the source document, the "header" element is empty, but it contains a closing tag (it's defined as containing optional other elements). The json2xml function removes the closing tag, so it's not round-trip. Any thoughts on this?
