# dom2json

[![Greenkeeper badge](https://badges.greenkeeper.io/kahwee/dom2json.svg)](https://greenkeeper.io/)

This converts DOM documents into a special blend of JSON. It was intended to be used for XML and now made to be generic to accomodate HTML documents as well. Please take a look at usage examples to see if it suits your needs.

## Support

* Browser (tested on Firefox)

* `xmldom`

## What is sacrificed?

In order for easy access to element node children, elements are grouped together.

For example, the following XML:

```xml

  Latte

  Chai

  Mocha

  Espresso

  Flat White

  Mint

```

Gets converted to:

```

{

  "document": {

    "Drinks": {

      "Coffee": [

        { $value: "Latte" },

        { $value: "Mocha" },

        { $value: "Espresso" },

        { $value: "Flat White" }

      ],

      "Tea": [

        { $value: "Chai" },

        { $value: "Mint" }

      ]

    }

  }

}

```

So there are some information loss here. Please use with caution!

## Usage example

```js

// Optional:

// const DOMParser = require('xmldom').DOMParser

const dp = new DOMParser()

let xml = dp.parseFromString(`

  
Hello World
Hello again`, 'text/xml')

result = dom2json(xml)

```


Results:

```json

{

  "document":{

    "Hello":{

      "Hi":[

        {

          "h1":[

            {

              "$attrs": {

              },

              "$value": "Hello World"

            }

          ],

          "$attrs":{

            "class": "a"

          },

          "$value": "Hello World"

        },

        {

          "$attrs":{

            "class": "a"

          },

          "$value": "Hello again"

        }

      ],

      "$attrs":{

        "one":"1",

        "two":"2",

        "three":"3"

      }

    }

  }

}

```
