$ npm install xml2json-ltx
`
Usage

var parser = require('xml2json-ltx');
var xml = "bar ";
console.log("input -> %s", xml)
// xml to json
var json = parser.toJson(xml);
console.log("to json -> %s", json);
// json to xml
var xml = parser.toXml(json);
console.log("back to xml -> %s", xml)
`
API
`javascript
parser.toJson(xml, options);
`
`javascript
parser.toXml(json);

Default values:
`javascript
var options = {
object: false,
reversible: false,
coerce: false,
sanitize: true,
trim: true,
arrayNotation: false
alternateTextNode: false
};
`
* object: Returns a Javascript object instead of a JSON string
reversible: Makes the JSON reversible to XML ()
* coerce: Makes type coercion. i.e.: numbers and booleans present in attributes and element values are converted from string to its correspondent data types. Coerce can be optionally defined as an object with specific methods of coercion based on attribute name or tag name, with fallback to default coercion.
* trim: Removes leading and trailing whitespaces as well as line terminators in element values.
* arrayNotation: XML child nodes are always treated as arrays NB: you can specify a selective array of nodes for this to apply to instead of the whole document.
* sanitize: Sanitizes the following characters present in element values:
`javascript
var chars = {
'<': '<',
'>': '>',
'(': '(',
')': ')',
'#': '#',
'&': '&',
'"': '"',
"'": '''
};
`
* alternateTextNode: Changes the default textNode property from $t to _t when option is set to true. Alternatively a string can be specified which will override $t to what ever the string is.
