Oops, I didn't look carefully at the json output of my little program. It does sometimes emit arrays. For example:
go build xmlparse.go ./xmlparse -url 'https://news.google.com/atom' This produces what, for some part, represents acceptable json. The exceptions are the atom entries that would still require, I think, another pass to fix up the go structure unless someone applies a priori knowledge of the xml structure when building it.
