ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
fast-xml-parser
Advanced tools
Validate XML, Parse XML, Build XML without C/C++ based libraries
The fast-xml-parser npm package is a fast and powerful XML parser and validator that can convert XML to a JavaScript object, JSON, or a traversable JS object. It can also convert a JS object to XML. It is designed to be very fast and efficient, and it provides various options to control the XML parsing and validation process.
XML to JSON Conversion
Converts XML data to a JSON object. The 'parse' function takes an XML string and optional options object, and returns a JSON representation of the XML.
const { parse } = require('fast-xml-parser');
const xmlData = '<note><to>User</to><from>Library</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget to subscribe.</body></note>';
const options = {};
const jsonObj = parse(xmlData, options);
JSON to XML Conversion
Converts a JSON object to an XML string. The 'j2xParser' constructor takes an options object, and the 'parse' method converts the JSON object to an XML string.
const { j2xParser } = require('fast-xml-parser');
const parser = new j2xParser({});
const jsonObj = { note: { to: 'User', from: 'Library', heading: 'Reminder', body: 'Don't forget to subscribe.' } };
const xmlData = parser.parse(jsonObj);
XML Validation
Validates the XML string. The 'validate' function checks if the given XML string is well-formed and returns a validation result.
const { validate } = require('fast-xml-parser');
const xmlData = '<note><to>User</to><from>Library</from></note>';
const validationResult = validate(xmlData);
Traversable Object Creation
Creates a traversable JavaScript object from XML. The 'XMLParser' constructor creates a parser instance, and the 'parse' method converts the XML string into a traversable JS object.
const { XMLParser } = require('fast-xml-parser');
const xmlData = '<note><to>User</to><from>Library</from></note>';
const parser = new XMLParser();
const traversableObject = parser.parse(xmlData);
xml2js is a similar npm package that provides XML to JavaScript object conversion. It includes options to customize the parsing process and supports builder options for converting back to XML. Compared to fast-xml-parser, xml2js may be slower but offers a more feature-rich API for handling complex XML structures.
xml-js is another npm package that converts XML text to a JavaScript object and vice versa. It can also convert XML to JSON and supports compact and non-compact modes. While fast-xml-parser focuses on speed, xml-js provides a more extensive set of conversion options.
libxmljs is a Node.js package that provides bindings to the libxml C library. It allows for parsing and serializing XML and includes XPath and XSLT support. It is different from fast-xml-parser in that it is a binding to a native library, which may offer performance benefits and additional XML processing features.
Validate XML, Parse XML to JS Object, or Build XML from JS Object without C/C++ based libraries and no callback.
