sax-js is a streaming XML parser for Node.js that is built on top of the sax C library. It is designed to be fast, low-memory, and easy to use. It is commonly used for parsing large XML files, as it allows you to process the XML data incrementally, rather than loading the entire file into memory at once.

sax-js is a low-level html tree parser and does not provide html query capabilities (like CSS selectors) though it can be useful in HTML tree parsing and serialization.

PHP library to get information from any web page (using oembed, opengraph, twitter-cards, scrapping the html, etc). It's compatible with any web service (youtube, vimeo, flickr, instagram, etc) and has adapters to some sites like (archive.org, github, facebook, etc).

Example Use


const fs = require("fs");
const sax = require("sax");

const xmlStream = fs.createReadStream("example.xml");
const saxParser = sax.createStream(true, {});

saxParser.on("opentag", function(node) {
    console.log(`<${node.name}>`);
});

saxParser.on("closetag", function(nodeName) {
    console.log(`</${nodeName}>`);
});

saxParser.on("text", function(text) {
    console.log(text);
});

xmlStream.pipe(saxParser);
