npm install xmlbuilder
var builder = require('xmlbuilder'); var xml = builder.create('root') .ele('xmlbuilder') .ele('repo', {'type': 'git'}, 'git://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js.git') .end({ pretty: true}); console.log(xml);
will result in:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <xmlbuilder> <repo type="git">git://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js.git</repo> </xmlbuilder> </root>
It is also possible to convert objects into nodes:
builder.create({ root: { xmlbuilder: { repo: { '@type': 'git', // attributes start with @ '#text': 'git://github.com/oozcitak/xmlbuilder-js.git' // text node } } } });
If you need to do some processing:
var root = builder.create('squares'); root.com('f(x) = x^2'); for(var i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { var item = root.ele('data'); item.att('x', i); item.att('y', i * i); }
This will result in:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <squares> <!-- f(x) = x^2 --> <data x="1" y="1"/> <data x="2" y="4"/> <data x="3" y="9"/> <data x="4" y="16"/> <data x="5" y="25"/> </squares>
