Description:
This script converts an XML file (.xml) to a JSON file (.json).
It extracts text content from all elements in the XML and saves it as a JSON file.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x

Usage:
1. Save this script as 'xml2json.py'.
2. Ensure your XML file ('example.xml') is in the same directory as the script.
3. Run the script.
4. The converted JSON file ('xml2json.json') will be generated in the same directory.

Note: Adjust the 'xml_filename' and 'json_filename' variables in the script as needed.
