convert json-String to XML problem

[dedtadeas]

Hi all,
I am quite new in using php. I need to convert string bellow to XML. The string should comes from jquery(it is json object).

{"@attributes":{"id":"3","name":"Cell"},"image":"images\/img1.jpg","linkItem":[{"@attributes":{"itemType":"reaction","itemId":"1","itemName":"O2 bubble exchange"},"area":[{"@attributes":{"width":"50","height":"250","top":"0","left":"150"}},{"@attributes":{"width":"100"," height":"250","top":"100","left":"150"}}],"point":{"@attributes":{"top":"200","left":"20"}}},{"@attributes":{"itemType":"entity","itemId":"1" ,"itemName":"CO2"},"area":[{"@attributes":{"width":"50","height":"300","top":"0","left":"250"}},{"@attributes":{"width":"10","h eight":"50","top":"300","left":"150"}}]}]}

wanted XML structure is for example :

<?xml version="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
<visualisation id="3"name="Cell">
<image>images/cell.png</image>
<linkItem itemType="reaction"itemId="1"itemName="O2d">
<area width="50"height="250"top="0"left="150"/>
<area width="100"height="250"top="100"left="150"/>
<point top="200"left="20"/>
</linkItem>
<linkItem itemType="reaction"itemId="3"itemName="O2d">
<area width="50"height="250"top="0"left="150"/>
<area width="100"height="250"top="100"left="150"/>
<point top="200"left="20"/>
</linkItem>
</visualisation>



Please do you have some ideas to do that without need to create complicated parser ?
thank you sooo much for answer ahead

You can use json_decode() to get the JSON string into an array...

$dataArray = json_decode($jsonInputFromJquery, true); 

...then see if you can process this via this class, perhaps?
