xml-lite

Maintaining XML in pure javascript (IN BOTH NODE.JS & BROWSERS) Homepage

Maintaining?

Converting

Editing/Traversing

XMLLite.findChildNode(doc, query);
XMLLite.findChildNodes(doc, query);
XMLLite.findOrCreateChildNode(doc, query);
XMLLite.removeChildNode(doc, query);
XMLLite.eachChildNode(doc, query, callback);
// ...

Formatting

XMLLite.beautify(xml, indent);
XMLLite.uglify(xml, preserveComments);
XMLLite.sanitize(xml, reverse);
// ...

Actually, you can get the js object from XMLLite.xml2js(xml), do whatever you want, and convert it back to xml again with XMLLite.js2xml(obj).

Why?

1. A reasonable need for usage in both Node.js and Browsers
2. A more reasonable need to use native APIs(DOMParser/XMLSerializer) to speed up the maintaining process and keep the library thin

Why xml-lite?

1. It works exactly the same in both Node.js and Browsers
2. The browser version is supper light-weight(dist/xml-lite.js)
3. Convenient APIs for converting between xml/js/json/DOM, and lots of helpers to maintain the data structures
4. Super fast. it takes less than 30ms to convert an xml document with over 1,000 nodes into a js object
