# @file-type/xml
Detector plugin for [file-type](https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type) for XML files.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @file-type/xml
```
## Usage
The following example shows how to add the XML detector to [file-type](https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type).
```js
import {FileTypeParser} from 'file-type';
import {detectXml} from '@file-type/xml';
const parser = new FileTypeParser({customDetectors: [detectXml]});
const fileType = await parser.fromFile('example.kml');
console.log(fileType);
```
You can also use the XML detector outside [file-type](https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type):
```js
import {XmlTextDetector} from '@file-type/xml';
const xmlTextDetector = new XmlTextDetector();
xmlTextDetector.write('');
const fileType = xmlTextDetector.fileType;
console.log(JSON.stringify(fileType)); // Outputs: {"ext":"svg","mime":"image/svg+xml"}
```
