This package is an XML to Javascript object parser that retains the XML document structure. It is based on the node-xmls2json package. The package exports only one function that takes options as a first argument and a standard node callback as the second argument. If only one argument is given, it's expected to be a callback function.

Example:

var parser = require('xml2dom');
var options = {
  convert: function(value, attributeName, elementName) {
    var num = Number(value);
    if (!isNaN(num)) {
        return num;
    }
    var _value = value.toLowerCase();
    if (_value == 'true') {
        return true;
    }
    if (_value == 'false') {
        return false;
    }
    return value;
  }
};

parser(options,function(err, obj) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(obj,null,2))
}).end("<foo>bar</foo>");

Since the returned object contains complete information about the original object structure, it is very amenable to use in a selector library (e.g. CSS Selector or XPath).

For further information see the README.md of the original repo.
