epub-parser

A library for parsing EPUB files into JSON, simplifying access to metadata, table of contents, and structural elements. Version 0.2.5 (last updated 2014) is a stable but archaic release with low maintenance. It depends on xml2js, node-zip, and eyes for logging. Unlike modern alternatives (e.g., epub.js), it runs only in Node.js and converts EPUB's internal XML (NCX, OPF) into nested JSON objects, providing both an 'easy' simplified namespace and a 'raw' direct mapping. No longer actively developed; consider for parsing older EPUB2 files, but lacks support for EPUB3, async/await, and streaming.
