jsxml

jsxml is an XML library for javascript (and node)

Install by NPM

npm install node-jsxml

How to use?

After add this library to your project, there will be a global object named jsxml.

in HTML file, import using <script> elements.

<script src="jsxml.js"></script>

in Node, import using require function.

const jsxml = require("node-jsxml");

support AMD, CMD. Big thanks to TimSchlechter.

seajs.config({
    alias: {
        jsxml: '../src/jsxml.js'
    }
});
seajs.use('jsxml', function(jsxml){
    console.log(jsxml);
});

var Namespace = jsxml.Namespace,
    QName = jsxml.QName,
    XML = jsxml.XML,
    XMLList = jsxml.XMLList;

Here you go:

var xml = new XML("<spring>" + 
		     "<list id='data'>" + 
		       "<element value='jsxml'/>" +
		       "<element value='is'/>" +
		       "<element value='an'/>" +
		       "<element value='xml'/>" +
		       "<element value='parser'/>" +
		     "</list>" +
            "</spring>");

find special childs

var child = xml.child('list');

find all children by *

var children = xml.child('*');

print the xml string

console.log(xml.toXMLString());

modify namespace

xml.addNamespace(new Namespace("ns", "http://colorhook.com"));
xml.children().addNamespace(new Namespace("prefix", "uri"));
console.log(xml.toXMLString());

find descendants nodes

var descendants = xml.descendants('element');

get all children

var children = xml.children();
//or
var children = xml.child('*');

get text node

var text = xml.text();

get element node

var elements = xml.elements();

get comment node

var comments = xml.comments();

get attribute

var attribute = xml.attribute("id");

get all attributes

var attributes = xml.attributes();

All methods above return an XML object or XMLList object, if you want to get the String type content, you should:

var xml = new XML(xmlContent);

var attrValue = xml.attribute('attrName').toString();
//or
var attrValue = xml.attribute('attrName').getValue();

var childA = xml.child('a').toString();
//or
var childA = xml.child('a').getValue();

If you want to modify the value, you should call method setValue:

var xml = new XML("your xml string");

var attr= xml.attribute('attrName');
attr.setValue("newValue");

var childA = xml.child('a');
childA.setValue("newValue");

You can regenerate the XML Content

var str = xml.toXMLString();

While dealing with a list of childs in XML tree, you should use XMLList API:

var list = xml.child("item");
list.each(function(item, index){
	//item is an XML
});

Advanced topics

You can also add, retrieve or remove namespaces:

var xml = new XML("your xml string");
var ns = xml.namespace("prefix");

var nsNew = new Namespace("prefix", 'uri');
xml.addNamespace(nsNew);
xml.removeNamespace(nsNew);
