I want to take the XML output of a Xapi query and display it using leaflet or polymaps. How can I do that? Is there an easy way to convert XML to geojson

Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the same way you guys have proposed, but unfortunately conversion failed with the following error!!! <i>Can anyone please suggest? Thanks in advance for you time....</i> C:\Program Files\FWTools2.4.7\bin>ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON D:\New.geojson D:\z.pbf <B> FAILURE: Unable to open datasource `z.pbf' with the following drivers. <br>-> ESRI Shapefile <br>-> MapInfo File <br>-> UK .NTF <br>-> SDTS <br>-> TIGER <br>-> S57 <br>-> DGN <br>-> VRT <br>-> REC <br>-> Memory <br>-> BNA <br>-> CSV <br>-> NAS <br>-> GML <br>-> GPX <br>-> KML <br>-> GeoJSON <br>-> Interlis – user1386596 Oct 30 '13 at 11:38

This appears to be a new question rather than an answer. If that is the case, post it as a new question. – Martin Oct 30 '13 at 12:07

OSM2GEO - A JS Converter to convert OSM to GeoJSON
* OSM2GEO - OSM to GeoJSON converter
* OSM to GeoJSON converter takes in a .osm XML file as input and produces
* corresponding GeoJSON object.

The development (as march 2013) version of gdal has read support for OSM, both for plain XML and PBF format.
So you can convert your OSM file with:
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON myfile.geojson myfile.osm.pbf

You can convert OSM XML to GeoJson with ogr2ogr. To convert to GeoJSON without getting the following error:
ERROR 6: GeoJSON driver doesn't support creating more than one layer
You can use one of the following commands or all of them:
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON points.json data.osm.pbf points
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON lines.json data.osm.pbf lines
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON multilinestrings.json data.osm.pbf multilinestrings
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON multipolygons.json data.osm.pbf multipolygons
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON other_relations.json data.osm.pbf other_relations

osmtogeojson is yet another OSM-to-GeoJSON converter, which has a few benefits when compared to this (OSM2GEO) or osm-and-geojson:
- can be used as a command line tool as well as a javascript (browser and nodejs) library.
- proper multipolygon support
- sophisticated polygon detection
- stable (can cope with incomplete OSM data)
- well tested
- faster
The library is already in use on geojson.io as well as overpass-turbo.eu.

I know this comment is coming late.. this tool is amazing (it always seems to work) but it is SLOW. We are currently evaluating alternatives to osmtogeojson because even converting a ~100MB Overpass output takes about 40 seconds on a reasonably powerful machine. We are looking to see whether GDAL can be an alternative for speed reasons. If speed is not a concern, I recommend this library. – Tommy Aug 8 '18 at 14:50

OpenStreetMap plugin for Leaflet is another way to do this. This way you can use your Xapi query directly in your code. Though it only makes sense for a small datasets since the request takes a while.
