https://www.npmjs.com/package/js2xmlparser

 

Install

The easiest way to install js2xmlparser is to use npm: npm install js2xmlparser.

Alternatively, you may download the source from GitHub and copy it to a folder named "js2xmlparser" within your "node_modules" directory.

 

Usage

The js2xmlparser module contains one function which takes the following arguments:

• root - the XML root element's name (string, mandatory)
• data - the data to be converted to XML; while the data object can contain arrays, it cannot itself be an array (object or JSON string, mandatory)
options - module options (object, optional)
• declaration - XML declaration options (object, optional)
  • include - specifies whether an XML declaration should be included (boolean, optional, default: true)
  • encoding - value of XML encoding attribute in declaration; a value of null represents no encoding attribute (string, optional, default: "UTF-8")
• attributeString - the name of the property representing an element's attributes; note that any property with a name equal to the attribute string is ignored except in the context of XML attributes (string, optional, default: "@")
• valueString - the name of the property representing an element's value; note that any property with a name equal to the value string is ignored except in the context of supplying a value for a tag containing attributes (string, optional, default: "#")
• aliasString - the name of the property representing an element's alias; the name of the containing element will be replaced with the alias (string, optional, default: "=")
• prettyPrinting - pretty-printing options (object, optional)
  • enabled - specifies whether pretty-printing is enabled (boolean, optional, default: true)
  • indentString - indent string (string, optional, default: "\t")
• convertMap - maps object types (as given by the Object.prototype.toString.callmethod) to functions to convert those objects to a particular string representation; * can be used as a wildcard for all types of objects (object, optional, default: {})
• useCDATA - specifies whether strings should be enclosed in CDATA tags; otherwise, illegal XML characters will be escaped (boolean, optional, default: false)

 

Usage

 

The following example illustrates the basic usage of js2xmlparser:

var js2xmlparser = require("js2xmlparser");

var data = {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Smith"
};

console.log(js2xmlparser("person", data));

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <person>
>     <firstName>John</firstName>
>     <lastName>Smith</lastName>
> </person>
