xast utility to parse from XML.
This package is ESM only:
Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.
npm:
npm install xast-util-from-xmlSay we have the following XML file, example.xml:
<album id="123">
<name>Born in the U.S.A.</name>
<artist>Bruce Springsteen</artist>
<releasedate>1984-04-06</releasedate>
</album>And our script, example.js, looks as follows:
import fs from 'node:fs'
import {fromXml} from 'xast-util-from-xml'
const doc = fs.readFileSync('example.xml')
const tree = fromXml(doc)
console.log(tree)Now, running node example yields (positional info removed for brevity):
{
type: 'root',
children: [
{
type: 'element',
name: 'album',
attributes: {id: '123'},
children: [
{type: 'text', value: '\n '},
{
type: 'element',
name: 'name',
attributes: {},
children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Born in the U.S.A.'}]
},
{type: 'text', value: '\n '},
{
type: 'element',
name: 'artist',
attributes: {},
children: [{type: 'text', value: 'Bruce Springsteen'}]
},
{type: 'text', value: '\n '},
{
type: 'element',
name: 'releasedate',
attributes: {},
children: [{type: 'text', value: '1984-04-06'}]
},
{type: 'text', value: '\n'}
]
},
{type: 'text', value: '\n'}
]
