I read the following XML with xml2json:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group>
<name><![CDATA[An example name]]></name>
</group>
but writing it back with json2xml gives me:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group>
<name>
<![CDATA[My modified name]]>
</name>
</group>This is is not the expected XML output.
The CDATA section is not a TAG and should not be handled as one and therefore not be indented.
Sure, its easier to read, but its not 100% correct.
It would be great to fix that or make a config parameter for that behaviour.
example code:
var xmljs = require('xml-js');
var xmlIn = '<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<group>\n\t<name><![CDATA[An example name]]></name>\n</group>';
console.log('xmlIn:\n',xmlIn);
var jsonIn = xmljs.xml2json(xmlIn, {
compact: true
});
var obj = JSON.parse(jsonIn);
// code to modify obj
obj.group.name._cdata = 'My modified name';
var jsonOut = JSON.stringify(obj);
var xmlOut = xmljs.json2xml(jsonOut, {
compact : true,
spaces : 4,
fullTagEmptyElement: true
});
console.log('xmlOut:\n',xmlOut);Solution
file: js2xml.js
- Function: writeElementsCompact, Line 143
case options.cdataKey: xml += writeCdata(element, options); break;
- Function: hasContent, Line 102
case options.cdataKey:
return false;
