XML-JS Converter

xml-js is a robust JavaScript library designed for converting between XML text and JavaScript objects or JSON text. It is currently stable at version 1.6.11 and receives active maintenance, with recent updates focusing on performance optimizations and new features like custom processing functions. A key differentiator is its ability to maintain the original order of XML elements during conversion to a JavaScript object, avoiding the common practice of merging same-named nodes into arrays by default, which is crucial for preserving document structure. It supports full XML compliance, parsing elements, attributes, texts, comments, CData, DOCTYPEs, XML declarations, and Processing Instructions. The library is also reversible, meaning conversions from XML to JS/JSON and back to XML will preserve the original data. It is known for its minimal dependencies and portability, working in both Node.js and browser environments.
