For example, if I parse

<li>I've talked with a lot of <country>Cuba</country> people.</li>

it yields the following JSON

{ name: 'li',
  childs: [
    'I\'ve talked with a lot of ',
    { name: 'country', childs: ['Cuba'] },
    'people.'
  ]
}

Notice how the space between "Cuba" and "people" is stripped out. Is this the intended behavior? Is there a workaround for this?

The parser is stripping \r\n characters from values that are not wrapped in CDATA tags.

Is there a particular reason for that?

Is this an intended feature ? if it is it should not be ! Completely defeats the point of CData

That would be great to implement a toString method, so that this code would return the string representation of the xml

var xmlParser = require('node-xml-lite');
var xmlData = '<div><b>hello</b><ul><li>world</li><li>hi</li></ul></div>';
parsedData = xmlParser.parseString(xmlData);
console.log(parsedData.toString(), xmlData);

The parser rejects this svg file because it expects attribute names to be alphanumeric, which stroke-width is not.

There are many other characters which are allowed in an XML Name, listed in the spec (see: Names and Tokens) which don't seem to be supported...

If you have a comment like this

<!--comment-with-hyphen-->

the output string will be

commentithyphen

the '-' character and the character after it will be missing.

here is a simple code to demonstrate it

var xml = require('node-xml-lite');
var fs = require('fs');

function parseFunc (state, a, b) {
    switch (state) {
        case xml.xtComment:
            console.log(a);
            break;
    }
    return true;
}

fs.writeFile('bug.xml', '<!-- comment-with-hyphen -->', function(err, data) {
    fs.readFile('bug.xml', 'utf8', function(err, data) {
        // file output
        console.log(data);
        // parser output
        xml.SAXParseFile('bug.xml', parseFunc);
    });
});
// output
// <!-- comment-with-hyphen -->
// commentithyphen 

xml file like this

<!-- Error -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Error -->
<svg width="40" height="32" viewBox="0 0 40 32">
<!-- Works -->
<ellipse  cx="20" cy="16" rx="20" ry="16"/>
</svg>
<!-- Works -->
