Filtered JSON from an XML

I have an XML file like below .

<animals> <dog> <name>Rufus</name> <breed>labrador</breed> </dog> <dog> <name>Marty</name> <breed>whippet</breed> </dog> <cat name="Matilda"/> </animals>

And i need the output to be a filtered JSON . I got the XML converted to JSON with Jackson Library.

 {    
        animals:{ 
             dog:[{name:'Rufus',breed:'Labrador'},
                 {name:'Marty',breed:'whippet'}],
             cat:{name:'Matilda'}
        }
    }

But i need a formatted output , with selected nodes. Is there some jar which takes filters . say if give an exclude filter as

animals.dog=true

I get an output like the below

{    
        animals:{ 
                     cat:{name:'Matilda'}
                }
}
