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.
function parse(text) { ... //-> DOMDocumentfunction load(file, [convert:false]) { ... //-> DOMDocumentfunction serialize(node) { ... //-> Stringfunction query(node, expression, resolver) { ... //-> [Node]####Example
XML.query(catalog, "//book[1]");
XML.query(response, "//here:contact[1]", {"here": "http://being.here/"});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."
}
}
}
}
}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 "
}
]
}
}Please have a look to the test fixtures!
