Advanced tools
Package description
The w3c-xmlserializer npm package is used to serialize DOM nodes to XML strings, following the W3C specification. It is typically used to convert DOM trees into a format that can be easily transported or stored.
Serializing DOM Nodes
This feature allows you to serialize a DOM node (such as an entire document or an individual element) to a string that contains XML. The code sample demonstrates how to create an instance of XMLSerializer and use it to serialize a DOM document to an XML string.
const { XMLSerializer } = require('w3c-xmlserializer');
const serializer = new XMLSerializer();
const xmlString = serializer.serializeToString(document);The xmlserializer package provides similar functionality to w3c-xmlserializer, allowing for the serialization of DOM nodes to XML strings. It may differ in implementation details or API design.
xmldom is a package that not only allows for serialization of DOM nodes but also includes a DOM parser for XML. This makes it a more comprehensive tool for working with XML in JavaScript, compared to w3c-xmlserializer which focuses only on serialization.
xml-js is a package that can convert XML text to a JavaScript object and vice versa. It provides a different approach compared to w3c-xmlserializer by offering a JSON-like experience when working with XML.
Readme
An XML serializer that follows the W3C specification.
This module is mostly used as an internal part of jsdom. However, you can use it independently with some care. That isn't very well-documented yet, but hopefully the below sample can give you an idea.
const { XMLSerializer } = require("w3c-xmlserializer");
const { JSDOM } = require("jsdom");
const { document } = new JSDOM().window;
const XMLSerializer = XMLSerializer.interface;
const serializer = new XMLSerializer();
const doc = document.createElement("akomaNtoso");
console.log(serializer.serializeToString(doc));
// => '<akomantoso xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></akomantoso>'
