# fromXML - Pure JavaScript XML Parser

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/from-xml.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/from-xml) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kawanet/from-xml.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kawanet/from-xml)

**Live Demo: [https://kawanet.github.io/from-xml/](https://kawanet.github.io/from-xml/)**

## FEATURES

- Simple: single parser function `fromXML(xml)` which returns JavaScript Object.
- Small: 2KB minified, 1KB gzipped.
- Standalone: no external module dependency nor DOM needed.

## SYNOPSIS

Node.js:

```js
var fromXML = require("from-xml").fromXML;
```

Browser:

```html
<script src="https://rawgit.com/kawanet/from-xml/master/dist/from-xml.min.js"></script>
```

Run:

```js
var xml = '<xml foo="FOO"><bar><baz>BAZ</baz></bar></xml>';

var data = fromXML(xml);

console.warn(data.xml.bar.baz); // => "BAZ"

console.warn(data.xml["@foo"]); // => "FOO"
```

## EXAMPLES

XML:

```xml
<xml foo="FOO">
  <bar>
    <baz>BAZ</baz>
  </bar>
</xml>
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": {
    "@foo": "FOO",
    "bar": {
      "baz": "BAZ"
    }
  }
}
```

### Empty Element

XML:

```xml
<xml>
  <foo/>
  <bar></bar>
  <qux quux="QUUX"/>
</xml>
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": {
    "foo": null,
    "bar": "",
    "qux": {
      "@quux": "QUUX"
    }
  }
}
```

### Empty Attribute

XML:

```xml
<xml>
  <foo bar="" baz/>
</xml>
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": {
    "foo": {
      "@bar": "",
      "@baz": null
    }
  }
}
```

### Multiple Child Nodes

XML:

```xml
<xml>
  <foo>BAR</foo>
  <foo>BAZ</foo>
  <foo>QUX</foo>
</xml>
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": {
    "foo": ["BAR", "BAZ", "QUX"]
  }
}
```

### Text Node with Attribute

XML:

```xml
<xml>
  <foo bar="BAR">
    BAZ
  </foo>
</xml>
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": {
    "foo": {
      "@bar": "BAR",
      "#": "BAZ"
    }
  }
}
```

## Force array to provide uniform structer

Useful when have to handle elements with array of items that sometimes have one element inside.

XML:

```xml
<xml>
  <foo bar="BAR">
    BAZ
  </foo>
</xml>
```

Code:

```js
fromXml(xml, {forceArray:true});
```

JavaScript:

```json
{
  "xml": [
    {
      "foo": [
        {
          "@bar": "BAR",
          "#": "BAZ"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

## CLI

```sh
$ echo '<foo bar="BAR"><buz>BUZ</buz></foo>' | ./node_modules/.bin/xml2json -2
{
  "foo": {
    "@bar": "BAR",
    "buz": "BUZ"
  }
}
```
