## Main Features

FXP logo

* Validate XML data syntactically
* Parse XML to JS Object
* Build XML from JS Object
* Compatible to node js packages, in browser, and in CLI (click try me button above for demo)
* Faster than any other pure JS implementation.
* It can handle big files (tested up to 100mb).
* Controlled parsing using various options
* XML Entities, HTML entities, and DOCTYPE entites are supported.
* unpaired tags (Eg `
` in HTML), stop nodes (Eg `` in HTML) are supported.
* You can restore almost same XML from JSON
* Supports comments
* It can preserve Order of tags in JS object
* You can control if a single tag should be parsed into array.
* Supports parsing of PI (Processing Instruction) tags with XML declaration tags
* And many more other features.

## v5
I developed v5 in Apr 2023. And I didn't get the chance to complete all the features. I've ensured that new features don't impact performance. With v5, you have more control on parsing output. Check [docs](./docs/v5) for syntax help and basic understanding.

Please leave a comment in discussion forum for your suggestions and if you really need v5.

## How to use

To use as package dependency
`$ npm install fast-xml-parser`

To use it on a **webpage** include it from a [CDN](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/fast-xml-parser)

**Example**

As CLI command
```bash
$ fxparser some.xml
```

In a node js project
```js
const { XMLParser, XMLBuilder, XMLValidator} = require("fast-xml-parser");

const parser = new XMLParser();
let jObj = parser.parse(XMLdata);

const builder = new XMLBuilder();
const xmlContent = builder.build(jObj);
```
