Main Features
- Validate XML data syntactically
- Parse XML to JS Object
- Build XML from JS Object
- Works with node packages, in browser, and in CLI (press try me button above for demo)
- Faster than any other pure JS implementation.
- It can handle big files (tested up to 100mb).
- Controlled parsing using various options
- XML Entities, HTML entities, and DOCTYPE entites are supported.
- unpaired tags (Eg
<br>in HTML), stop nodes (Eg<script>in HTML) are supported. - You can restore almost same XML from JSON
- Supports comments
- It can preserve Order of tags in JS object
- You can control if a single tag should be parsed into array.
- Supports parsing of PI (Processing Instruction) tags with XML declaration tags
- And many more other features.
v5
I developed v5 in Apr 2023. And I didn't get the chance to complete all the features. I've ensured that new features don't impact performance. With v5, you have more control on parsing output. Check docs for syntax help and basic understanding.
Please leave a comment in discussion forum for your suggestions and if you really need v5.
