XML support #2488
Comments
|
There is #2471, however it seems a bit questionable whether it will be part of std |
|
While this might not be the answer you're looking for, most DOM parsers are able to parse XML as well: import { DOMParser } from "https://esm.sh/[email protected]";
const xml = `
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
`;
const document = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml, "text/xml");
const to = document.querySelector("to").innerText;
const from = document.querySelector("from").innerText;
console.log("To: " + to + ", from: " + from); // => "To: Tove, from: Jani" |

I feel like there should be a decision made by either the core team or the community on whether or not XML parsing should be in std. My sense is that it is overly complicated and there are already /x/ libraries for it, but I'm curious to hear from not just myself. |
|
I'm -1 on this. I don't see a benefit of a implementation in std if existing third party modules work great. I've used a couple of them before. |

@iuioiua do you have a few that you'd like to recommend here? I know I'm personally not super excited at the thought of maintaining an XML library unless absolutely necessary 😄 |
|
I'm going to close this out based on the feedback in #2471, as well as the availability of third party modules. |
XML is common. It would be nice if the standard library could support XML to JS and some JS to XML.
