It does not parse the following elements:
- CDATA sections (*)
- Processing instructions
- XML declarations
- Entity declarations
- Comments
$ npm install accesso-xml2json
var parser = require('xml2json');
var xml = "<foo>bar</foo>";
var json = parser.toJson(xml); //returns a string containing the JSON structure by default
console.log(json);parser.toJson(xml, options);parser.toXml(json, options);Default values:
var options = {
object: false,
reversible: false,
coerce: true,
sanitize: true,
trim: true
};- object: Returns a Javascript object instead of a JSON string
- reversible: Makes the JSON reversible to XML (*)
- coerce: Makes type coercion. i.e.: numbers and booleans present in attributes and element values are converted from string to its correspondent data types.
- trim: Removes leading and trailing whitespaces as well as line terminators in element values.
- sanitize: Sanitizes the following characters present in element values:
var chars = {
'<': '<',
'>': '>',
'(': '(',
')': ')',
'#': '#',
'&': '&',
'"': '"',
"'": '''
};(*) xml2json tranforms CDATA content to JSON, but it doesn't generate a reversible structure.
