yt-xml2srt

A tiny module to easily convert YouTube caption format from XML to SRT with ZERO dependencies.

Installation

npm i -S yt-xml2srt

Or for Yarn users:

yarn add yt-xml2srt

Usage

Using Promises:

const xml2srt = require('yt-xml2srt');

xml2srt.Parse(xmlString)
  .then(srt => /* DO SOMETHING WITH SRT */)
  .catch(err => console.log(`Error while converting XML to SRT : ${err}`));

Or you can use async await

const xml2srt = require('yt-xml2srt');

const srt = await xml2srt
  .Parse(xmlString)
  .catch(err => console.log(`Error while converting XML to SRT : ${err}`));
/* DO SOMETHING WITH SRT */

Using it synchronously:

const xml2srt = require('yt-xml2srt');

try {
  const srt = xml2srt.ParseSync(xmlString);
  /* DO SOMETHING WITH SRT */
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`Error while converting XML to SRT : ${err}`);
}
