It's native and full javascript implementation of the classic XMLWriter class. The API is complete, flexible and tolerant. XML is still valid.
With npm do:
$ npm install xml-writer
var XMLWriter = require('xml-writer');
xw = new XMLWriter;
xw.startDocument();
xw.startElement('root');
xw.writeAttribute('foo', 'value');
xw.text('Some content');
xw.endDocument();
console.log(xw.toString());Output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root foo="value">Some content</root>
Tip: If you want your XML indented use new XMLWriter(true) or new XMLWriter('\t'), for instance, if you want to use a custom string for indentation.
var XMLWriter = require('xml-writer');
xw = new XMLWriter;
xw.startDocument().startElement('root').writeAttribute('foo', 'value').writeElement('tag', 'Some content');
console.log(xw.toString());Output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root foo="value"><tag>Some content</tag></root>
var XMLWriter = require('xml-writer');
xw = new XMLWriter;
xw.startElement('root').writeAttribute('foo', 'value').text('Some content');
console.log(xw.toString());Output:
<root foo="value">Some content</root>
var XMLWriter = require('xml-writer'),
fs = require('fs');
var ws = fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/foo.xml');
ws.on('close', function() {
console.log(fs.readFileSync('/tmp/foo.xml', 'UTF-8'));
});
xw = new XMLWriter(false, function(string, encoding) {
ws.write(string, encoding);
});
xw.startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8').startElement(function() {
return 'root';
}).text(function() {
return 'Some content';
});
ws.end();Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>Some content</root>
