convert json to xml without changing the order of parameters in python

Question

I'm using Json2xml module for converting json format to xml format. But, while converting it changes the order of the parameters. How do I convert without changing the order of parameters? Here's my python code.

from json2xml.json2xml import Json2xml

data = Json2xml.fromjsonfile('example.json').data
data_object = Json2xml(data)
xml_output = data_object.json2xml()
print xml_output

example.json

{
    "action": {
      "param1": "aaa",
      "param2": "bbb"
    }
}

The output is

<action>
<param2>bbb</param2>
<param1>aaa</param1>
</action>

Is there a way to convert json to xml without changing the order of parameters?

Try using an OrderedDict:

from collections import OrderedDict
from json2xml.json2xml import Json2xml

data = Json2xml.fromjsonfile('example.json').data
data = OrderedDict(data)
data_object = Json2xml(data)
xml_output = data_object.json2xml()
print xml_output

What's the difference? I don't want the items to be sorted. I just want them in the same order as in json.

If you switch the order of the element in your example.json you will see order change reflected in the outputted XML
