js2xml
Convert Javascript code to an XML document.
This makes it easy to extract data embedded in JavaScript code using XPath in a way more robust than just using regular expressions.
Install:
You can install js2xml via PyPI:
pip install js2xml
Example:
>>> import js2xml
>>>
>>> jscode = """function factorial(n) {
... if (n === 0) {
... return 1;
... }
... return n * factorial(n - 1);
... }"""
>>> parsed = js2xml.parse(jscode)
>>>
>>> parsed.xpath("//funcdecl/@name") # extracts function name
['factorial']
>>>
>>> print(js2xml.pretty_print(parsed)) # pretty-print generated XML
<program>
<funcdecl name="factorial">
<parameters>
<identifier name="n"/>
</parameters>
<body>
<if>
<predicate>
<binaryoperation operation="===">
<left>
<identifier name="n"/>
</left>
<right>
<number value="0"/>
</right>
</binaryoperation>
</predicate>
<then>
<block>
<return>
<number value="1"/>
</return>
</block>
</then>
</if>
<return>
<binaryoperation operation="*">
<left>
<identifier name="n"/>
</left>
<right>
<functioncall>
<function>
<identifier name="factorial"/>
</function>
<arguments>
<binaryoperation operation="-">
<left>
<identifier name="n"/>
</left>
<right>
<number value="1"/>
</right>
</binaryoperation>
</arguments>
</functioncall>
</right>
</binaryoperation>
</return>
</body>
</funcdecl>
</program>

Use
calmjs.parseinstead ofslimitfor JavaScript parsingcalmjs.parseis a well-maintained fork ofslimitwhich solves some of its shortcomings, such as support for JavaScript keywords being used as object keys.However,
calmjs.parsealso introduces slight changes to the output of js2xml, making this change backward-incompatible. -

Deprecate
js2xml.jsonlike -
Introduce
js2xml.utils.objectsmodule:-
js2xml.utils.objects.make(node): takes a node in the js2xml-parsed tree and converts to a suitable Python object -
js2xml.utils.objects.findall(tree, types): used to find the top-most nodes in the js2xml-parsed tree that can be converted to adict,list,str,bool,intorfloat -
js2xml.utils.objects.getall(tree, types): same as.findall()except that it converts what was found to the corresponding Python object, usingjs2xml.utils.objects.make()
-
-
Introduce
js2xml.utils.varsmodule:-
js2xml.utils.vars.get_vars(tree)can be used to turn a JS snippet into a python object where you can access JavaScript variables by name and get the parsed values
