iab

IAB's Vast & VMAP formats handling for Node.js.

const IAB = require('iab');
 
// VAST 2/3
const parser = new IAB.VAST3Parser(vastXMLContent);
// Or VMAP
const parser = new IAB.VMAPParser(vastXMLContent);
 
parser.parse()
    .then((document) => {
      // document is now a VAST/VMAP parsed document object.
      // Eg : document.ads[1].adTitle => 'Ad's title'
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      if (err.parsingError) {
        console.err(`Could not parse document : ${err}`);
      } else if (err.parsingError) {
        console.err(`Could not validate document : ${err}`);
      }
    });

Parsed document objects

The parsed document objects definition can be found here :

• VAST3
• VMAP

The TypeScript source is fully documented and should be easy to read for JS developers.

Compatibility

As this module is using Joi for validation, the minimum Node.js version required is 4.
