XMLDOM

A JavaScript implementation of W3C DOM for Node.js, Rhino and the browser. Fully compatible with W3C DOM level2; and some compatible with level3. Supports DOMParser and XMLSerializer interface such as in browser.

Original project location:

Install:

>npm install xmldom

Example:

const { DOMParser } = require('xmldom')

const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(
    '\n' +
        '\ttest\n' +
        '\t\n' +
        '\t\n' +
        '',
    'text/xml'
)
doc.documentElement.setAttribute('x', 'y')
doc.documentElement.setAttributeNS('./lite', 'c:x', 'y2')
console.info(doc)

const nsAttr = doc.documentElement.getAttributeNS('./lite', 'x')
console.info(nsAttr)

Note: in Typescript and ES6 you can use the import approach, as follows:

import { DOMParser } from 'xmldom'

API Reference

• DOMParser:

  parseFromString(xmlsource,mimeType)
  

  • options extension by xmldom(not BOM standard!!)

  //added the options argument
  new DOMParser(options)
  
  //errorHandler is supported
  new DOMParser({
  	/**
  	 * locator is always need for error position info
  	 */
  	locator:{},
  	/**
  	 * you can override the errorHandler for xml parser
  	 * @link https://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html
  	 */
  	errorHandler:{warning:function(w){console.warn(w)},error:callback,fatalError:callback}
  	//only callback model
  	//errorHandler:function(level,msg){console.log(level,msg)}
  })
