JSONObject.toString () throws OutOfMemoryError

I need to convert StackExchange dataset to Json file, so I tried this -

public class Parser {
    public static int PRETTY_FACTOR=4;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {  
        String fileName = "/home/dipannoy/Desktop/stackexchange/android/posthistory.json";
        String path= "/home/dipannoy/Desktop/stackexchange/android/PostHistory.xml";

        try {           

            StringBuilder builder =  new StringBuilder();  


            FileInputStream inputStream = null;
            Scanner sc = null;
            try {
                inputStream = new FileInputStream(path);
                sc = new Scanner(inputStream, "UTF-8");
                while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
                    String line = sc.nextLine();
                    builder.append(line);
                }
                if (sc.ioException() != null) {
                    throw sc.ioException();
                }
            } finally {
                if (inputStream != null) {
                    inputStream.close();
                }
                if (sc != null) {
                    sc.close();
                }
            }


            String xml  = builder.toString();  
            JSONObject jsonObj = XML.toJSONObject(xml);   


            FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(fileName);
            BufferedWriter bufferedWriter =new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);

            bufferedWriter.write(jsonObj.toString());
            bufferedWriter.flush();            
            bufferedWriter.close();
            fileWriter.close();
        }


          catch(IOException ex) {
                System.out.println(
                    "Error writing to file '"
                    + fileName + "'");

            } catch(Exception e) {  
                e.printStackTrace();  
            }
    }  
}

. Sample xml -

I tried to use Gson but was unable to convert GSONObject

to GSONObject

as I GsonParser

must have a method GSONObject

toString()

that creates OutOfMemoryError

. Can anyone help with this issue?
