There's a script in svn that takes a particular XML format and turns
it into the proper JSON (specificly, the proper Fieldmapper objects).
It uses an XML format that we developed with Unique Management for use
in the PINES load, but that's not what you have in hand.  However, you
should be able to analyze the script and glean some useful information
from that.

You can find it here:
