The special characters in the first element name are causing issues. If you change:

{"{http://www.ebayclassifiedsgroup.com/schema/ad/v1}ads-search-options": {

to

{"httpwwwebayclassifiedsgroupcomschemaadv1_ads-search-options": {

(remove '{', '}', ':' and '/') it seems to parse to XML without a problem.
