Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

slimdom-sax-parser

Parses XML to a slimdom document using saxes. slimdom is a fast, tiny, standards-compliant XML DOM implementation for browser and node.

  • Parses text, elements, attributes, processing instructions, comments and CDATA
  • Supports namespaces
  • Works in NodeJS and the browser

Exports

Has two named exports:

  • async (function) Asynchronously return a slimdom Document for the given XML string or Readable stream.
  • sync (function) Synchronously return a slimdom Document for the given XML string:
  • slimdom (slimdom) A reference to the lib this parser is built around, as a convenience.

The shape of the async function is as follows;

function async(
	xml: string | stream.Readable,
	options?: saxes.SaxesOptions & {
		additionalEntities?: {
			[entityName: string]: string;
		};
	}
): Promise<slimdom.Document>;

The shape of the sync function is as follows;

function sync(
	xml: string,
	options?: saxes.SaxesOptions & {
		additionalEntities?: {
			[entityName: string]: string;
		};
	}
): slimdom.Document;

See also saxes.SaxesOptions and the standard DOM API.

Usage

import { async } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';

const dom = await async('<xml foo="bar" />');
import { sync } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';

const dom = sync('<xml foo="bar" />');

Examples

Modify the XML DOM:

import { sync } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';

const document = sync(`<foo />`);

document.documentElement.setAttribute('bar', 'baz');
// document.documentElement.hasAttribute('bar') === true

Use with an XPath engine (fontoxpath):

import { sync } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';
import { evaluateXPath } from 'fontoxpath';

const document = sync(`<foo><bar /><baz /></foo>`);
const childNodeNames = evaluateXPath('/foo/*/name()', document);
// childNodeNames equals ['bar', 'baz']

Use source code position tracking:

import { slimdom, sync } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';

const xml = '<example><child-element /></example>';

const document = sync(xml, { position: true });
// document instanceof slimdom.Document === true

const childElement = document.documentElement.firstChild;
// childElement instanceof slimdom.Element === true

const position = childElement.position;
// xml.substring(position.start, position.end) === '<child-element />'

Transform a XML file:

import fs from 'fs';
import { async, slimdom } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';
import { evaluateXPathToNodes } from 'fontoxpath';

async function transform(filePath) {
	const xmlStream = fs.createReadStream(filePath);
	const document = await async(xmlStream);

	const barNodes = evaluateXPathToNodes('//bar/*', document);
	for (const barNode of barNodes) {
		barNode.setAttribute('bar', 'baz');
	}

	await fs.promises.writeFile(filePath, slimdom.serializeToWellFormedString(document));
}

transform('./file.xml');
