jsxml is an XML library for javascript (and node)
npm install node-jsxml
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 });
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);
