libxml

node-libxml

node-libxml is a W3C-DOM XML Library for NodeJS with XPath and namespace support. It is implemented using the C based LibXML2 and the Ajax.org O3 component system. This is the only W3C-DOM standards based XML api for NodeJS we are aware of so your code should work in both the browser and nodejs. This project is used in production in many NodeJS based backend projects at Ajax.org.

Installation

To use this library simply install it using npm:

npm install libxml

Example

var xml = require("libxml");
var xmlData = "\

      with XML.</description>\n\
   </book>\n\
</catalog>";
 
var doc = xml.parseFromString(xmlData);
console.log("parsed document:\n" + doc.xml);
 
var xpathNodeList = elem.selectNodes("descendant-or-self::node()[@available='true']");
