xml-to-tree is a utility for parsing XML strings into a JSON tree representation. It is safe for XML fragments and multi-root documents, providing a clean structure for each node and its children.

Installation

npm install xml-to-tree

Example

import { parse } from 'xml-to-tree';

const xml = `
<book>
  <title>XML for Beginners</title>
  <author>John Doe</author>
  <year>2025</year>
</book>`;

const tree = parse(xml);

console.log(JSON.stringify(tree, null, 2));

Function

parse(xml, options = {})

• xml: The XML string or fragment to parse.
• options.tagKey: The key used for the tag name (default is 'tag').
• options.childrenKey: The key used for child nodes (default is 'children').
• options.textKey: The key used for text content (default is 'text').

Returns a JSON tree representation of the XML. It processes each element node, its attributes, and its child nodes recursively.
