Description

It seems like something in the recent version (3.16.0 seems to not have this problem) changed the behavior of the parsing for namespaced tags with no attributes. Until now these would be parsed as simple strings, but recently they are parsed as objects. Apparently, from the change-log, this was not an intended change.

Input

This can be reproduced in the online tool by using the following input

<example>This is a test</example>
<ns1:otherexample>This is another test</ns1:otherexample>

And only selecting these options:

• Remove namespace string from tag and attribute names.
• Allow Boolean Attributes

Un-selecting either of them gives an expected output.

Code

var xml = "<example>This is a test</example><ns1:otherexample>This is another test</ns1:otherexample>"
parser.parse(xml, {
    ignoreNameSpace: true,
    allowBooleanAttributes: true,
    ignoreAttributes: false,
  });

Output

{
    "example": "This is a test",
    "otherexample": {
        "#text": "This is another test",
        "@_otherexample": true
    }
}

expected data

{
    "example": "This is a test",
    "otherexample": "This is another test"
}
