Installation
npm i xml-renderer --save
Example
import React from 'react';
import { sync } from 'slimdom-sax-parser';
// Take the default export of `xml-renderer`
import { ReactRenderer } from 'xml-renderer';
// Instantiate a new object to contain rendering rules
const experience = new ReactRenderer();
// For text nodes you _probably_ just want to show the text content
experience.add('self::text()', ({ node }) => node.nodeValue);
// For some nodes, including the document node, you _probably_ just want to render the children
experience.add('self::node()', ({ traverse }) => traverse());
// For other nodes you may want to add a template
experience.add('self::paragraph', ({ traverse }) => <p>{traverse()}</p>);
// For some situations you may want to specify a more specific test
experience.add('self::paragraph[not(preceding-sibling::*)]', ({ traverse }) => (
<p>
<b>{traverse()}</b>
</p>
));
// For some situations you may want to traverse into specific children, or add some elements of your own
experience.add('self::webpage', ({ traverse }) => (
<div>
<h1>My first page</h1>
{traverse('./paragraph')}
</div>
));
// ReactRenderer#render returns React elements, so you can use them in React like any other JS value
export default function MyXmlDocument({ xmlString }) {
return <div className="doc-or-whatever">{xp.render(React.createElement, sync(xmlString))}</div>;
