Socket Now Protects the Chrome Extension Ecosystem
Socket is launching experimental protection for Chrome extensions, scanning for malware and risky permissions to prevent silent supply chain attacks.
isomorphic-xml2js
Advanced tools
A drop-in replacement for xml2js that uses the built in DOMParser/XMLSerializer when bundled for the browser, drastically reducing the bundle size. Simply exports xml2js when used in a node.js environment.
Currently no options are supported except for rootName on Builder
. The goal is to eventually create a browser-friendly implementation of all the xml2js API (within reason). For now it just works the way I happen to have configured xml2js in the past, which is basically like so:
const parserOpts = {
explicitArray: false,
explicitCharkey: false,
explicitRoot: false
};
const builderOpts = {
explicitArray: false,
explicitCharkey: false
rootName: "some-root-name"
};
Detailed bundle size and performance comparisons in the browser will come later. For now it appears that you can reduce your minified bundle size by about 120kb by using isomorphic-xml2js over xml2js in your project.
FAQs
XML parsing for browser and node.js
We found that isomorphic-xml2js demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
