Example is extracted from usage of gulp-xml2json plugin for https://github.com/Asseco-CE/eHealth-hackathon(eHealth Hackathon) event 2016. Plugin was used to prepare Json data from old Xml (source) data. In this example, additional useful gulp plugins were commented-out, but you may consider to use them along with gulp-xml2json.
