xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace json="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/json"
 at "/MarkLogic/json/json.xqy";
 
 declare variable $j :=  '{
    "first Key":"first value",
    "secondKey":["first item","second item",null,"third item",false],
    "thirdKey":3,
    "fourthKey":{"subKey":"sub value", "boolKey" : true, "empty" : null }
    ,"fifthKey": null,
    "sixthKey" : []
    }'  ;

(: The following output is produced:

<json type="object" xmlns="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/json/basic">

  <secondKey type="array">
    <item type="string">first item</item>
    <item type="string">second item</item>
    <item type="null"/>
    <item type="string">third item</item>
