JXON

A complete, bidirectional, JXON (lossless JavaScript XML Object Notation) library. Works like nodejs module, AMD module or creates global window.JXON object.

Implementation of Mozilla's JXON code. Head over to MDN for Documentation.

Without changing the configuration, the library will work as original implementation.

JXON.config(cnf)

Overrides default configuration properties

• cnf - Object with configuration properties.

Example:

JXON.config({
  valueKey: '_',                // default: 'keyValue'
  attrKey: '$',                 // default: 'keyAttributes'
  attrPrefix: '$',              // default: '@'
  lowerCaseTags: false,         // default: true
  trueIsEmpty: false,           // default: true
  autoDate: false,              // default: true
  ignorePrefixedNodes: false,   // default: true
  parseValues: false            // default: true
});

Additional option: parserErrorHandler (NodeJS only) - a function that will handle xmldom errors

Conversion example:

{name: 'myportal'} 
<name>myportal</name>

{user: {
    username: 'testUser1',
    password: 'yolo',
    enabled: true
}}
<user>
  <username>testUser1</username>
  <password>yolo</password>
  <enabled>true</enabled>
</user>

{tag: {
    $type: 'regular'
    $blacklist: false
    _: 'Backbase'
}}
<tag type="regular" blacklist="false">Backbase</tag>

{dogs: {
    name: ['Charlie', {$nick: 'yes', _:'Mad Max'}]
}}
<dogs>
    <name>Charlie</name>
    <name nick="yes">Mad Max</name>
</dogs>

JXON.stringToJs(xmlString)

Converts XML string to JS object.

• xmlString - XML string to convert to JXON notation JS object

JXON.jsToString(obj)

Converts JS object to XML string.

• obj - JS object in JXON notation to convert to XML string

JXON.build(xmlDocument, verbosity, freeze, nestedAttributes)

Converts XML document to JS object. Alias: JXON.xmlToJs

• xmlDocument - The XML document to be converted into JavaScript Object.
• verbosity - Optional verbosity level of conversion, from 0 to 3. It is almost equivalent to our algorithms from #4 to #1 (default value is 1, which is equivalent to the algorithm #3).
• freeze - Optional boolean expressing whether the created object must be freezed or not (default value is false).
• nestedAttributes - Optional boolean expressing whether the the nodeAttributes must be nested into a child-object named keyAttributes or not (default value is false for verbosity levels from 0 to 2; true for verbosity level 3).

Example:

var myObject = JXON.build(xmlDoc);

JXON.unbuild(obj, namespaceURI, qualifiedNameStr, documentType)

Converts JS object to XML document. Alias: JXON.jsToXml

• obj - The JavaScript Object from which you want to create your XML Document.
• namespaceURI - Optional DOMString containing the namespace URI of the document to be created, or null if the document doesn't belong to one.
• qualifiedNameStr - Optional DOMString containing the qualified name, that is an optional prefix and colon plus the local root element name, of the document to be created.
• documentType - Optional DocumentType of the document to be created. It defaults to null.

Example:

var myObject = JXON.unbuild(myObject);

JXON.stringToXml(xmlString)

Implementation of DOMParser.parseFromString, converts string to XML document.

• xmlString - XML string to convert to XML document

JXON.xmlToString(xmlObj)

Implementation of XMLSerializer.serializeToString, converts XML document to string.

• xmlObj - XML document to convert to XML string
