xml-jsonify

A liberal XML to JSON converter.

Why?

xml2js is cool and works perfectly to convert XML into JS. However, often I need a simplified version of the converted result. So, this module will not take care of the XML attributes and will not keep one-element arrays in its result (see the example).

For the complementary package, see json-xmlify.

:cloud: Installation

1# Using npm
2npm install --save xml-jsonify
3
4# Using yarn
5yarn add xml-jsonify

:clipboard: Example

1const xmlJsonify = require("xml-jsonify");
2
3// Let's parse a sitemap
4xmlJsonify(`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
5<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
6  <url>
7    <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>

14  </url>
15</urlset>`, (err, data) => {
16    console.log(err || data);
17    // { '$': { xmlns: 'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9' },
18    //   url:
19    //    [ { loc: 'http://www.example.com/' },

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

• Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:

• —I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:

• —You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. :tea:

• —Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).

• Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

  

Thanks! :heart:
