# saxophonist

Extract elements from large XML files with node.js streams

## Usage

```js

'use strict'

var fs = require('fs')

var p = require('path')

var saxophonist = require('./')

var count = 0

console.time('parsing time')

fs.createReadStream(p.join(__dirname, 'wikipedia', '1.xml'))

  .pipe(saxophonist('page'))

  .on('data', function () {

    count++

  })

  .on('end', function () {

    console.timeEnd('parsing time')

    console.log('read', count, 'pages')

  })

```

The data format is:

```js

{

  path: ['a', 'path', 'to', 'page'], // the path in the XML document

  children: null, // or an array with elements like this

  attributes: {}, // object with all element attribute

  text: null // or string, containing the element text

}

```
