This is a library that converts between XML and JavaScript objects. The conversion is not necessarily lossless but it is very convenient.

The code is all contained within the x2js.js file, so you can include it directly
via a script tag. It will create window.X2JS, which is a constructor that can be
used to create instances of the converter, providing an optional configuration object.
In a Node app, require("x2js") will give you the constructor that you can use the same way.
NB! You must manually install the xmldom package, as it is not marked as a dependency since
it is not needed if you do not plan to use the library as part of a Node application.
Loading via AMD-capable loaders (e.g. require.js) is also supported and works equivalently.
var x2js = new X2JS();
var document = x2js.xml2js(xml);
console.log(document.MyRootElement.ElementX[1].toString());
var xml = x2js.js2xml(document);
console.log(xml);
See the code within x2js.js for information about what configuration options you can pass.
Exported functions are listed at the end of the file - there are only a few of them.
A set of QUnit test cases are part of the project and act as the primary usage examples.
Run karma start --single run to test with Chrome, Firefox and IE.
Run node_modules\.bin\qunit-cli all_tests.js to test with the Node runtime.
Run npm test to execute both sets of tests.
Travis CI uses npm travistest to run tests using Firefox via Karma and Node.
