xml2js is a Node.js module that converts XML into JavaScript objects (and vice versa). It simplifies XML parsing by using pure JavaScript and supports both synchronous and asynchronous parsing. It’s a lightweight alternative to heavy DOM parsers. You can create one xml2js.Parser per file. That's the recommended one and is promised to always just work. You can call reset() on your parser object. You can hope everything goes well anyway. This behaviour is not guaranteed to work always, if ever.

Features

  • Converts XML to JavaScript object structures
  • Supports bi‑directional conversion (XML ↔ JavaScript/JSON)
  • Offers both async and sync parsing methods
  • Built on sax-js parser and xmlbuilder-js for object building
  • Handles XML attributes, nested elements, and arrays naturally
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate into Node.js projects
