## Simple XML2JSON Parser ### The info about the fork

e67cc9aa

The https://github.com/buglabs/node-xml2json/pull/180 maintainers (`buglabs`, no e-mail, no GitHub) are not responsive. So, I created a small fix, that works perfectly, it is named as `p3x-xml2json`. It is the same as the original, just works with NodeJs 12. I am open to merge pull requests. I maintain. Please free, to contact me.

23e91998

Besides, I have upgraded all packages to the latest versions.

## Verbose description

It does not parse the following elements:

440a652d

5250374c

* CDATA sections (*)

440a652d

* Processing instructions * XML declarations * Entity declarations * Comments

This module uses node-expat which will require extra steps if you want to get it installed on Windows. Please

refer to its [documentation](https://github.com/astro/node-expat/blob/master/README.md#windows).

```

## Usage

ef331c47

```javascript

17a24607

var parser = require('p3x-xml2json');

6a202d68

712cc3c7

var xml = "<foo attr=\"value\">bar</foo>"; console.log("input -> %s", xml)

4d5246c6

// xml to json

712cc3c7

var json = parser.toJson(xml); console.log("to json -> %s", json);

4d5246c6

// json to xml

712cc3c7

var xml = parser.toXml(json); console.log("back to xml -> %s", xml)

### Options object for `toJson`

115e66f6

6aefda07

Default values:

ef331c47

```javascript

5250374c

var options = {

6aefda07

object: false, reversible: false,

b143d11c

coerce: false,

6aefda07

sanitize: true,

e982acb0

trim: true, arrayNotation: false

34d9f9a9

alternateTextNode: false

6aefda07

};

115e66f6

```

5250374c

* **object:** Returns a Javascript object instead of a JSON string * **reversible:** Makes the JSON reversible to XML (*)

9d4e812a

* **coerce:** Makes type coercion. i.e.: numbers and booleans present in attributes and element values are converted from string to its correspondent data types. Coerce can be optionally defined as an object with specific methods of coercion based on attribute name or tag name, with fallback to default coercion.

5250374c

* **trim:** Removes leading and trailing whitespaces as well as line terminators in element values.

34d9f9a9

* **arrayNotation:** XML child nodes are always treated as arrays NB: you can specify a selective array of nodes for this to apply to instead of the whole document.

d17bb4d4

* **sanitize:** Sanitizes the following characters present in element values:

5250374c

ef331c47

```javascript

e982acb0

var chars = {

6aefda07

'<': '<', '>': '>', '(': '(', ')': ')', '#': '#', '&': '&', '"': '"', "'": ''' };

5250374c

```

34d9f9a9

* **alternateTextNode:** Changes the default textNode property from $t to _t when option is set to true. Alternatively a string can be specified which will override $t to what ever the string is.

5250374c

34616418

### Options object for `toXml`

5250374c

34616418

Default values: ```javascript var options = {

2d87cdb1

sanitize: false, ignoreNull: false

34616418

}; ```

2d87cdb1

* `sanitize: false` is the default option to behave like previous versions * **ignoreNull:** Ignores all null values

5250374c

(*) xml2json tranforms CDATA content to JSON, but it doesn't generate a reversible structure.
