        '@number': 123,
        '@date': new Date(),
        items: {
            '@length': 2,
            item: [
                {name: 'Alexander', birth: new Date('2002-12-09')},
                {name: 'Daniel', birth: new Date('1991-03-22')}
            ]
        }
    }

console.log(o2xml.transform(object, {pretty: true}));

  <items length="2">
    <item>

    </item>
    <item>
      <name>Daniel</name>
      <birth>1991-03-22T00:00:00.000Z</birth>
    </item>
  </items>
</thing>

• formatters: {string:fn, boolean:fn, number:fn, date:fn} format and escape functions.

Mix strings, nodes and attributes

var o2xml = require('o2xml');
var object = {
    div: {
        '@id': 'id',
        '#text': 'Hello, ',
        span: {
            '@style': 'font-weight: bold',
            '#text': 'World'
        },
        '#text2': '!'
    }
}

console.log(o2xml.transform(object));

converts to:

<div id="id">Hello, <span style="font-weight: bold">World</span>!</div>

Note

• Text escape by default (amp, quote, single quote, left/right angle brackets).
• Node.js Buffer will be converted to base64 encoded string.
• String nodes must start with # and key must be unique in space.
