I'm working on project where i have to make an API request. When I post a JSON request to the server I get the following XML as response:

```
"<response>
    \r\n  
    <data>
       \r\n   
        <status no=\"0\" substatus=\"0\">
           Connection succeeded
        </status>\r\n 
    </data>
        \r\n
</response>"

```

I need to convert the response back to JSON. But when I try to parse it i'm getting an error saying

> 
> 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '',
>  line 0, position 0.'
> 
>

I'm using NewtonSoftJSON for conversion.

This is the code I'm using to convert the XML string back to JSON: 

```
var response = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(xmlResponse);

```

How can I achieve this?
