xast-namespaces

Attach namespace information to a xast XML element tree.

This library exposes a function which takes a xast tree and attaches namespace information to each element.

Installation

npm install xast-namespaces

Usage

import { attachNamespaces } from 'xast-namespaces';

const tree = {
  type: 'element',
  name: 'ns:parent',
  attributes: {
    'xmlns:ns': 'https://ns.example',
  },
  children: [
    {
      type: 'element',
      name: 'ns:child',
      attributes: {
        'ns:attr': 'value',
      },
      children: [],
    },
  ],
};

const result = attachNamespaces(tree);
assert.deepStrictEqual(result, {
  type: 'element',
  name: 'ns:parent',
  namespace: 'ns',
  namespaceURI: 'https://ns.example',
  localName: 'parent',
  namespaces: {
    ns: 'https://ns.example',
  },

  namespacedAttributes: [
    {
      type: 'attribute',
      name: 'xmlns:ns',

      namespaceURI: undefined,
