We'll need to know your definition of "generic". I think one can argue that the in-box xml -> jsonx transform is the DataPower generic way.
However, I'm assuming you want something in particular, and the scope of any-XML to any-JSON can become quite large considering all the possibilities.
But, what I would do is to use DataPower's xml -> jsonx, then use a GatewayScript to process through the resulting JSON to turn it into what you want. A way to do that, generically, is using "Object.keys(theJSON)" and then iterating through the keys and getting the values of that key. Something like this:
// process the incoming buffer. then....
var jsonKeys = Object.keys(theJSON);
for (var i = 0; i < jsonKeys.length; i++) {
var keyName = jsonKeys[i];
var value = theJSON[keyName];
// Do what you want here
}
Depending up on nesting and other value types you may encounter, you'll likely want the above code snippet inside a recursive function of some kind.
Honestly, can't help much more at this point, but I hope this gets you started.

Subject: xml to json transformation
Hi all,
Is there any generic way to transform xml to json?
Or I will need to follow xml --> jsonx transformation using custom xslt --> json (using inbuilt jsonx2json xsl)?
Requirement :
Input (xml) --> DP --> Output(json)
Thanks !
