XML.js

What for?

XML.js provides helper functions for XML manipulation, including conversion of documents into JXON objects. It is built on top of xmldom & xpath modules and brings common XML-related features together into a simplistic API.

API

XML#parse

function parse(text) { ... //-> DOMDocument

XML#load

function load(file, [convert:false]) { ... //-> DOMDocument

XML#serialize

function serialize(node) { ... //-> String

XML#query

function query(node, expression, resolver) { ... //-> [Node]

Example

XML.query(catalog, "//book[1]");
XML.query(response, "//here:contact[1]",  {"here": "http://being.here/"});

JXON

convert

function convert(node, [compact:true]) { ... //-> {Object}

Example

Given document is the following:

<contact firstName="George" lastName="Cartier">
    <notes>
        <![CDATA[
            Will call back tomorrow.
        ]]>
    </notes>
</contact>

Resulting JXON object, converted with JXON.convert(document), would be:

{
    "contact": {
        "firstName": "George",
        "lastName": "Cartier",
        "*": {
            "notes": {
                "*": {
                    "#D": "Will call back tomorrow."
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

compact

function compact(object) { ... //-> {Object}

Example

When not compacted, previous result would be the following, which could be compacted afterwards with JXON#compact:

{
    "contact": {
        "@firstName": "George",
        "@lastName": "Cartier",
        "children": [
            {
                "#TEXT": "\n            "
            },
            {
                "notes": {
                    "children": [
                        {
                            "#TEXT": "\n                "
                        },
                        {
                            "#CDATA": "\n                    Will call back tomorrow.\n                "
                        },
                        {
                            "#TEXT": "\n            "
                        }
                    ]
                }
            },
            {
                "#TEXT": "\n        "
            }
        ]
    }
}
