jquery – Convert XML to JSON (and back) using Javascript

Disclaimer: I’ve written fast-xml-parser

Fast XML Parser can help to convert XML to JSON and vice versa. Here is the example;

var options = {
    attributeNamePrefix : "@_",
    attrNodeName: "attr", //default is 'false'
    textNodeName : "#text",
    ignoreAttributes : true,
    ignoreNameSpace : false,
    allowBooleanAttributes : false,
    parseNodeValue : true,
    parseAttributeValue : false,
    trimValues: true,
    decodeHTMLchar: false,
    cdataTagName: "__cdata", //default is 'false'
    cdataPositionChar: "\c",
};
if(parser.validate(xmlData)=== true){//optional
    var jsonObj = parser.parse(xmlData,options);
}

If you want to parse JSON or JS object into XML then

//default options need not to set
var defaultOptions = {
    attributeNamePrefix : "@_",
    attrNodeName: "@", //default is false
    textNodeName : "#text",
    ignoreAttributes : true,
    encodeHTMLchar: false,
    cdataTagName: "__cdata", //default is false
    cdataPositionChar: "\c",
    format: false, 
    indentBy: "  ",
    supressEmptyNode: false
};
var parser = new parser.j2xParser(defaultOptions);
var xml = parser.parse(json_or_js_obj);
