# @kie-tools/xml-parser-ts

This lets you parse/build XML strings from/to JSON using types and metadata generated with `@kie-tools/xml-parser-ts-codegen`. It uses DOMParser or `jsdom` to parse the XMLs and guarantees that:

1. Parse/builds are idempotent for XMLs created with
1. The JSON resulting from parsing is type-safe, as the metada generated by `@kie-tools/xml-parser-ts-codegen` provides information on what is a string, a boolean, an integer, a float or an array. Even if there's only one element on a sequence, `@kie-tools/xml-parser-ts` will make sure it is an array with length 1.
1. The types generated by `@kie-tools/xml-parser-ts-codegen` can be extended and parsed/built.
1. Unknown elements/attributes are kept in the original JSON.
1. Comments ignored.

### Some characteristics:

1. Namespaces declared on the original XML can be preserved when building from the JSON.

Apache KIE (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache Incubator. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that
the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the
code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Some of the incubating project’s releases may not be fully compliant with ASF
policy. For example, releases may have incomplete or un-reviewed licensing
conditions. What follows is a list of known issues the project is currently
aware of (note that this list, by definition, is likely to be incomplete):

- Hibernate, an LGPL project, is being used. Hibernate is in the process of
  relicensing to ASL v2
- Some files, particularly test files, and those not supporting comments, may
  be missing the ASF Licensing Header

If you are planning to incorporate this work into your product/project, please
be aware that you will need to conduct a thorough licensing review to determine
the overall implications of including this work. For the current status of this
