node-xml2js-xpath

A library for node-xml2js that allows querying the JSON object with XPath syntax.

Install

Use npm:

npm install --save xml2js xml2js-xpath

Usage

To use this library, first you need to some xml2js results to parse. Example:

var xml2js = require("xml2js");
var xpath = require("xml2js-xpath");

xml2js.parseString('<root><element id="15">target</element></root>', function(err, json) {
  // find all elements: returns xml2js JSON of the element
  var matches = xpath.find(json, "//element");

  // find the first element, and get its id:
  var matches = xpath.evalFirst(json, "//element", "id");
});

See test cases for more examples.
