<br>in HTML), stop nodes (Eg<script>in HTML) are supported. - You can restore almost same XML from JSON
- Supports comments
- It can preserve Order of tags in JS object
- You can control if a single tag should be parsed into array.
- Supports parsing of PI (Processing Instruction) tags with XML declaration tags
- And many more other features.
v5
I developed v5 in Apr 2023. And I didn't get the chance to complete all the features. I've ensured that new features don't impact performance. With v5, you have more control on parsing output. Check docs for syntax help and basic understanding.
Please leave a comment in discussion forum for your suggestions and if you really need v5.
