XML to Javascript

Tool to read xml server responses and transform it into javascript.

Example

const content = `<gu ok="one" nok="two">hello<ma ok="three" nok="four"></ma></gu>`
const js = toJs(content)
console.log(js)

Output

{
  "tag": "gu",
  "xmlTag": "<gu ok=\"one\" nok=\"two\">",
  "params": { "ok": "one", "nok": "two" },
  "children": [
    {
      "params": {},
      "tag": "",
      "xmlTag": "",
      "text": "hello",
      "children": [],
    },
    {
      "tag": "ma",
      "xmlTag": "<ma ok=\"three\" nok=\"four\">",
      "params": { "ok": "three", "nok": "four" },
      "children": [],
    },
  ],
}

Then you can reverse the process

console.(toXML(js))

Output

<gu ok="one" nok="two">hello<ma ok="three" nok="four"></ma></gu>

Inline closed element

<ma ok="three" nok="four" />

    {
      "tag": "ma",
      "xmlTag": "<ma ok=\"three\" nok=\"four\" />",
      "params": { "ok": "three", "nok": "four" },
      "children": [],
    }

Parent element

<gu ok="one" nok="two">
  <ma ok="three" nok="four" />
</gu>

{
  "tag": "gu",
  "xmlTag": "<gu ok=\"one\" nok=\"two\">",
  "params": { "ok": "one", "nok": "two" },
  "children": [
    {
      "tag": "ma",
      "xmlTag": "<ma ok=\"three\" nok=\"four\" />",
      "params": { "ok": "three", "nok": "four" },
      "children": [],

  "children": [
    {
      "params": {},
      "tag": "",
      "xmlTag": "",
      "text": "hello",
      "children": [],
    },
  ],
}

Prototype function

js.filter(callback)
js.findByTag('ma')
js.findByParam('ok', 'three')
js.findByPath(['a', 'b', 'c'])

• findByTag Return all elements from the root where tag equals.
• findByParam Return all elements from the root where param is the first arguments and the value is the second.
• findByPath Return all elements from the root where the path of tags to access is the ordered list of strings.

The filter function respect the order of occurences from top to bottom.
