What is the XSLT to convert the below XML into JSON?

Question

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--Generated by Oracle BI Publisher -Dataengine, datamodel:_Custom_OAL_ATG_OM_Dashboard_DM_xdm -->
<DATA>
<SUCCESS>
<COUNT___>5686</COUNT___>
</SUCCESS>
<REJECT>
<COUNT___>641</COUNT___>
</REJECT>
<FAILURE>
<COUNT___>8536</COUNT___>
</FAILURE>
<ERROR>
<COUNT___>1447</COUNT___>
</ERROR>
<TERMINATED>
<COUNT___>1341</COUNT___>
</TERMINATED>
</DATA>

Above is the XML I have. I want to convert the above XML into JSON shown below.

{
"appName": "PERFORMANCE",
"statsName": "Status Counts",
"DateBegin": "xxxxxx",
"DateEnd": "xxxxxxx",
"data": {
 "SUCCESS ": 1341,
"REJECT":5666,  "FAILURE":640,
 "ERROR":8515,
"TERMINATED":1447
}
}

I am new with XSLT stylesheets. Could anyone help me with the above problem? What is the XSLT stylesheet for converting the given XML to JSON?

You can use the following stylesheet. It works as desired for the given input XML:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" />

  <xsl:template match="/DATA">
      <xsl:text>{
    "appName": "PERFORMANCE",
    "statsName": "Status Counts",
    "DateBegin": "xxxxxx",
    "DateEnd": "xxxxxxx",
    "data": 
      </xsl:text>{&#xa;<xsl:apply-templates select="*" /><xsl:text>&#xa;}&#xa;}</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="SUCCESS|REJECT|FAILURE|ERROR|TERMINATED">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat('&quot;',local-name(),'&quot;: ',COUNT___)" />
    <xsl:if test="position() != last()">,&#xa;</xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Its output is:

{
"appName": "PERFORMANCE",
"statsName": "Status Counts",
"DateBegin": "xxxxxx",
"DateEnd": "xxxxxxx",
"data": 
{
"SUCCESS": 5686,
"REJECT": 641,
"FAILURE": 8536,
"ERROR": 1447,
"TERMINATED": 1341
}
}

The output doesn't match your desired output, because there were some inconsistencies between the input XML and the desired output XML. Change the XSLT according to your needs.
