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.

Install:

npm install xmldom

Example:

var DOMParser = require('xmldom').DOMParser;
var doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(
    '<xml xmlns="a" xmlns:c="./lite">\n'+
        '\t<child>test</child>\n'+
        '\t<child></child>\n'+
        '\t<child/>\n'+
    '</xml>'
    ,'text/xml');
doc.documentElement.setAttribute('x','y');
doc.documentElement.setAttributeNS('./lite','c:x','y2');
var nsAttr = doc.documentElement.getAttributeNS('./lite','x')
console.info(nsAttr)
console.info(doc)

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 http://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)}
  })
