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.

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

in Node, import using require function.

constjsxml=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);});

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

Here you go:

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

find special childs

varchild=xml.child('list');

find all children by *

varchildren=xml.child('*');

print the xml string

console.log(xml.toXMLString());

modify namespace

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

find descendants nodes

vardescendants=xml.descendants('element');

get all children

varchildren=xml.children();//orvarchildren=xml.child('*');

get text node

vartext=xml.text();

get element node

varelements=xml.elements();

get comment node

varcomments=xml.comments();

get attribute

varattribute=xml.attribute("id");

get all attributes

varattributes=xml.attributes();

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

varxml=newXML(xmlContent);varattrValue=xml.attribute('attrName').toString();//orvarattrValue=xml.attribute('attrName').getValue();varchildA=xml.child('a').toString();//orvarchildA=xml.child('a').getValue();

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

varxml=newXML("your xml string");varattr=xml.attribute('attrName');attr.setValue("newValue");varchildA=xml.child('a');childA.setValue("newValue");

You can regenerate the XML Content

varstr=xml.toXMLString();

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

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

Advanced topics

You can also add, retrieve or remove namespaces:

varxml=newXML("your xml string");varns=xml.namespace("prefix");varnsNew=newNamespace("prefix",'uri');xml.addNamespace(nsNew);xml.removeNamespace(nsNew);
