xml-mapping

xml2json and json2xml for NodeJS

It's native javascript implementation of a bidirectional converter between XML and JS data structure (aka JSON). You can convert any type of XML documents in an Javascript data structure. You can also do the reverse, converting a Javascript data structure in XML String. XML is still valid.

Installation

With npm do:

$ npm install xml-mapping

Usage

var xm = require('xml-mapping');

var json = xm.load('<key>value</key>');
var xml  = xm.dump(json);

console.log(xml,json);
console.log(json);

Output:

<key>value</key> { key: { '$t': 'value' } }

Convention

The rules for converting XML to JSON are those used by Google in its GData protocol. More information here : http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/json.html

Tests

Use nodeunit to run the tests.

$ npm install nodeunit
$ nodeunit test
