  	strict: true,
    tag: 'item'
  })
  .on('data', function(item) {
    console.log(item);
  });

API

• tag - name of the tag to select objects from XML file, an Array of tag names can be used - when multiple tags are specified stream pushes { tag, record } tuples
• highWaterMark - size of internal transform stream buffer - defaults to 350 objects
• strict - default to false, if true makes sax parser to accept valid XML only
• trim, normalize, lowercase, xmlns, position, strictEntities, noscript - passed to sax parser
