Xmlparser2 NPM

XMLparser

Simple non-compiant XML parser because we just need to parse some basic responses and libxml takes forever to compile :D you probably don't want to use this unless you also have similar needs.

Installation:

$ npm install xmlparser2

Example

const fs = require("fs")
const { XMLparse } = require("xmlparser2")
const xml = fs.readFileSync("example.xml", "utf8")

const obj = XMLparse(xml)

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
