read-xml


> Read a xml file respecting its encoding information

Usage

simple-iso-8859-1.xml
``xml


ácentó y la letra ñ

`

Without this module the above xml file would be read incorrectly by the standard fs module, because node.js only supports some encodings in its core

`xml



�cent� y la letra �

`

var fs = require('fs'),

var FILE = path.join(__dirname, 'test/xml/simple-iso-8859-1.xml');

// pass a buffer or a path to a xml file
xmlReader.readXML(fs.readFileSync(FILE), function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
}

console.log('xml encoding:', data.encoding);
console.log('Decoded xml:', data.content);
