1_ Do you really need information as array?
2_ Do you really need all that information in JSON?
Step #1: Convert to object literals instead of array.
Step #2: Transform to JSON only the information you need.
Call the XML to JSON formatter with this XML:
<user-types>
<xsl:for-each select="/data/user-types/entry">
<xsl:element name="entry-{@id}">
<id>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</id>
<name>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</name>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</user-types>
Then use a for each loop in your JS.

Trying to get the XML..
<user-types> <section id="11" handle="user-types">User types</section> <entry id="9"> <name mode="unformatted" handle="home-owner" word-count="2" lang="en" handle-en="home-owner"><![CDATA[Home owner]]></name> </entry> <entry id="7"> <name mode="unformatted" handle="contractor-residential" word-count="2" lang="en" handle-en="contractor-residential"><![CDATA[Contractor (residential)]]></name> </entry> <entry id="8"> <name mode="unformatted" handle="contractor-non-residential" word-count="2" lang="en" handle-en="contractor-non-residential"><![CDATA[Contractor (non-residential)]]></name> </entry> <entry id="10"> <name mode="unformatted" handle="commercial-property-owner" word-count="3" lang="en" handle-en="commercial-property-owner"><![CDATA[Commercial property owner]]></name> </entry> </user-types>To be JSON, but the tag
entrydoent get turned into an array, so JS can only read one of them :(current broken JSON output
{ "user-types" : { "section" : { "@attributes" : { "id" : 11, "handle" : "user-types" }, "value" : "User types" }, "entry" : { "@attributes" : { "id" : 9 }, "name" : { "@attributes" : { "mode" : "unformatted", "handle" : "home-owner", "word-count" : 2, "lang" : "en", "handle-en" : "home-owner" }, "value" : "Home owner" } }, "entry" : { "@attributes" : { "id" : 7 }, "name" : { "@attributes" : { "mode" : "unformatted", "handle" : "contractor-residential", "word-count" : 2, "lang" : "en", "handle-en" : "contractor-residential" }, "value" : "Contractor (residential)" } }, "entry" : { "@attributes" : { "id" : 8 }, "name" : { "@attributes" : { "mode" : "unformatted", "handle" : "contractor-non-residential", "word-count" : 2, "lang" : "en", "handle-en" : "contractor-non-residential" }, "value" : "Contractor (non-residential)" } }, "entry" : { "@attributes" : { "id" : 10 }, "name" : { "@attributes" : { "mode" : "unformatted", "handle" : "commercial-property-owner", "word-count" : 3, "lang" : "en", "handle-en" : "commercial-property-owner" }, "value" : "Commercial property owner" } } } }Using this XSL https://github.com/iwyg/xml-to-json
