如何将API响应从XML转换为JSON

Question

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Body>
        <GetCategoriesJsonResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
        <GetCategoriesJsonResult>[{"code":"0","description":"Sides","storeNumber":"3733"},{"code":"1","description":"Sandwiches","storeNumber":"3733"},</GetCategoriesJsonResult>
        </GetCategoriesJsonResponse>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

That is the result of the API, but I want to convert it like:

[
    {
        "code": "0",
        "description": "Sides",
        "storeNumber": "3733"
    },
    {
        "code": "1",
        "description": "Sandwiches",
        "storeNumber": "3733"
    },
]

How can I do this? I've tried json_encode and json_decode but it didn't work for me. I have applied different methods to convert it but it's still showing XML results. Can anyone tell me how I can convert it into JSON?

Here's a good answer on available options to working with xml https://stackoverflow.com/a/3577662/3266626

I use FluentDom

$xml = file_get_contents("xml_file.xml");
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$json = new \FluentDOM\Serializer\Json\RabbitFish($doc);
$object = json_decode($json);

echo "<pre>" . print_r( $object, true) . "</pre>";
echo "<script>console.log({$json})</script>";

Edit: replaced

// PHP Deprecated: Non-static method DOMDocument::loadXML() should not be called statically
$doc = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml);

with

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($xml);
