Convert XML to JSON (and back) using Javascript

Question

How would you convert from XML to JSON and then back to XML?

The following tools work quite well, but aren\'t completely consistent:

• xml2json

You can also use txml. It can parse into a DOM made of simple objects and stringify. In the result, the content will be trimmed. So formating of the original with whitespaces will be lost. But this could be used very good to minify HTML.

const xml = require('txml');
const data = `
tag content
another content

  inside content
  
`;

const dom = xml(data); // the dom can be JSON.stringified

xml.stringify(dom); // this will return the dom into an xml-string
