is there a way to convert from xml to json?

Question

I'm writing an api for google reader where I'm currently trying to get items belonging to a specific inputted feed. In order to get the information i am using the following code:

String url = String.Format("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/{0}?n=5000", inputtedURL);

The information returned is in XML format. Is there a way where I can specify the output to be in JSON format in the url itself? Or else, is there an assembly reference (library) in C# which can perform this conversion please?

thanks for your help :)

You can get a feed as JSON from the Google Reader API by using http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/stream/contents/feed/<feed_url>.

Why don't you just parse your XML and serialize into a json file?

Have you tried appending "&output=json" to the querystring? The tutorial for the API has an example.
