(Maintenance fork of xml-parser.)
Simple non-compliant¹ XML parser because we just need to parse some basic
responses and libxml takes forever to compile. :D
You probably don't want to use this unless you also have similar needs.
Read section "Caveats" below.
¹) It doesn't care much about XML validity rules, and will try to make sense of your file even if real XML parsers would refuse it as broken.
$ npm install xml-parser-fix-pmb
JavaScript:
var fs = require('fs');
var parse = require('xml-parser');
var xml = fs.readFileSync('examples/developerforce.xml', 'utf8');
var inspect = require('util').inspect;
var obj = parse(xml);
console.log(inspect(obj, { colors: true, depth: Infinity }));XML:
