fastify-xml-body-parser

Fastify plugin / module to parse XML payload / body into JS object

Usage

1. Include in package.json
``bash
$npm install fastify-xml-body-parser
#or
$yarn add fastify-xml-body-parser
`

2. Then import in your code and register with fastify

Sample POST body / payload
`
data
`

`js

const fastify = require('fastify')()

fastify.register(require('fastify-xml-body-parser'))

fastify.post('/', (req, reply) => {
console.log(req.body.sample)//data
reply.send(req.body)
})

fastify.listen(8000, (err) => {
if (err) throw err
})
`

The sent reply would be the object:
`js
{
sample: 'data'
}
`

Options

This plugin use fast-xml-parser to parse the XML payload. So it accepts all the options supported by fast-xml-parser.

`js

var options = {
commentPropName: "#comment",
preserveOrder: true
};

const fastify = require('fastify')()

fastify.register(require('fastify-xml-body-parser'), options)

`

Additionaly, it supports following options

* validate: If it is set to true, this plugin validate the payload for valid XML syntax before parsing.
* contentType: It accepts a string or an array of content types. By default it is set to ["text/xml", "application/xml", "application/rss+xml"].

Note: I've not included body size limit to this plugin because of following reasons
* I believe it's good to use API gateway to handle non-functional requirements, like security.
* There are already some plugins which verifies for body length. It'll be a performance degrade if all the plugins are doing the same thing.
