I am trying to convert a XML into JSON. I am converting XML into a Hashref and then using JSON::Any to JSON. I am struck in the first part i.e. XML to HashRef. My source XML

<Publisher>
  <UniqueDOI>978-3-642-123456</UniqueDOI>
  <ChapterInfo ChapterType="OriginalPaper">
    <Title Language="En">Is Light Blue (<Emphasis Type="Italic">azzurr
+o</Emphasis>) Color Name Universal in the Italian Language?</Title>
  </ChapterInfo>
</Publisher>
[download]

I tried with XML::Simple

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
my $XMLRef    = XMLin('new.xml');
print Dumper $XMLRef;
[download]

Using XML::LibXML::Simple

use XML::LibXML::Simple   ();
use Data::Dumper;

my $xs   = XML::LibXML::Simple->new(%options);
my $XMLRef = $xs->XMLin('new.xml');
print Dumper $XMLRef;
[download]

Using XML::Twig

use XML::Twig;
use Data::Dumper;
my $twig=XML::Twig->new();
my $XMLRef = $twig->parsefile( 'new.xml' )->simplify(); 
print Dumper $XMLRef;

Update: All the above scripts are NOT properly converting the child "Emphasis". The error part of the dump is more or less similar to

'ChapterTitle' => {
    'Emphasis' => {
        'Type' => 'Italic',
        'content' => 'azzurro
    },
    'Language' => 'En',
    'content' => [
        'Is Light Blue (',
        ') Color Name Univeral in the Italian Language?'
    ]
},
[download]

Is it possible to do like (leave specific tags as it is)

'ChapterTitle' => {
    'Language' => 'En',
    'content' => [
        'Is Light Blue (<Emphasis Type="Italic">azzurro</Emphasis>) Co
+lor Name Univeral in the Italian Language?'
    ]
},

I appreciate any pointers in this regard.

Regards Dominic
