Please don't rely on node-expat about node-xml2json HOT 7 CLOSED

node-expat works on windows, and the reason why node-expat is not the python but the node-gyp and your vs version. This issue discuss it. node-expat is faster than other xml parser, and this is why i choose this package to convert xml to json ;)

from node-xml2json.

I'm closing this issue as invalid.

from node-xml2json.

It'd still be nice to get rid of the dependency for a pure-js alternative. One of the reasons is that you cannot re-use this module client-side with something like Browserify because of the native code dependency.

@RangerMauve Do you know of any other xml2json packages that are compatible with Browserify?

from node-xml2json.

@JasonGhent I haven't really found one so far, sadly. Luckily I only really use XML server-side these days.

You might want to take a look at the native DOM apis for working with XML.

from node-xml2json.

@RangerMauve this module was specifically created to serialize fast, that's why it uses expat. I would use the DOM parsers instead too.

from node-xml2json.

Just saying: https://www.npmjs.com/package/xml-js is a pure JS library, and works with browserify as well.
