moddle-xml

As of version 7.0.0 this library exposes ES modules. Use esm to consume it or an ES module aware bundler such as Webpack or Rollup to bundle it for the browser.

moddle-xml

Read and write XML documents described with moddle.

Usage

Get the libray via npm

npm install --save moddle-xml

Bootstrap

Create a moddle instance

import Moddle from 'moddle';
import {
  Reader,
  Writer
} from 'moddle-xml';

var model = new Moddle([ myPackage ]);

Read XML

Use the reader to parse XML into an easily accessible object tree:

var model; // previously created

var xml =
  '<my:root xmlns:props="http://mypackage">' +
    '<my:car id="Car_1">' +
      '<my:engine power="121" fuelConsumption="10" />' +
    '</my:car>' +
  '</my:root>';

var reader = new Reader(model);
var rootHandler = reader.handler('my:Root');

// when
reader.fromXML(xml, rootHandler, function(err, cars, context) {

  if (err) {
    console.log('import error', err);
  } else {

    if (context.warnings.length) {
      console.log('import warnings', context.warnings);
    }

    console.log(cars);

    // {
    //  $type: 'my:Root',
    //  cars: [
    //    {
    //      $type: 'my:Car',
    //      id: 'Car_1',
    //      engine: [
    //        { $type: 'my:Engine', powser: 121, fuelConsumption: 10 }
    //      ]
    //    }
    //  ]
    // }
  }
});

Write XML

Use the writer to serialize the object tree back to XML:

var model; // previously created

var cars = model.create('my:Root');
cars.get('cars').push(model.create('my:Car', { power: 10 }));

var options = { format: false, preamble: false };
var writer = new Writer(options);

var xml = writer.toXML(bar);

console.log(xml); // <my:root xmlns:props="http://mypackage"> ... <my:car power="10" /></my:root>
