Parse XML with OK JSON

Build a script to parse XML and view the structure in OK JSON.

Getting Started

Step 1

Download fast-xml-parser and put the file in packages folder.

You can also grab the file at fast-xml-parser - Libraries - cdnjs . Just download the js file fxparser.min.js.

We test with version 5.2.3 of fast-xml-parser.

Step 2

Create a script file in the script folder with the following code.

parse-xml.js


/*
@okjson.schemaVersion 1
@okjson.name Parse XML
@okjson.description Parse XML, convert to JSON, and view in OK JSON.
@okjson.icon chevron.left.forwardslash.chevron.right
@okjson.preprocessInput no
@okjson.openResultInNewWindow no
@okjson.author OK JSON
@okjson.authorURL https://okjson.app
*/
 
$include('fxparser.min');
 
function main(string) {
  const parser = new XMLParser.default();
  const result = parser.parse(string);
  const json = JSON.stringify(result, null, 4);
  $utility.viewInOKJSON(json);
  return '';
}

Step 3

Run the script and XML string as the input.
