@types/sax
Advanced tools
@types/sax provides TypeScript type definitions for the sax package, which is a streaming XML parser for JavaScript. It allows for efficient and event-driven parsing of XML data.
Creating a SAX parser
This feature allows you to create a new SAX parser instance. The 'true' argument indicates that the parser should be in strict mode.
const sax = require('sax');
const parser = sax.parser(true);
Handling XML events
This feature allows you to handle various XML events such as opening tags, text nodes, and the end of the document. You can define custom handlers for these events.
parser.onopentag = function (node) {
console.log('Node opened:', node);
};
parser.ontext = function (text) {
console.log('Text:', text);
};
parser.onend = function () {
console.log('Parsing finished.');
};
Parsing XML data
This feature allows you to parse XML data by writing it to the parser instance. The 'write' method feeds the XML string to the parser, and 'close' indicates the end of the input.
const xml = '<root><child>Content</child></root>';
parser.write(xml).close();
xml2js is a popular XML parser for JavaScript that converts XML data into JavaScript objects. Unlike sax, which is event-driven, xml2js provides a more straightforward API for converting XML to JSON.
fast-xml-parser is another XML parser that focuses on performance. It provides both a SAX-like event-driven API and a DOM-like API for parsing XML data. It is generally faster than sax and offers more flexibility.
libxmljs is a binding for the libxml2 library, providing a powerful and feature-rich XML parser. It supports both SAX and DOM parsing, and is suitable for more complex XML processing tasks compared to sax.
