xast utility to create XML trees (like hastscript for
hast and unist-builder for unist).
npm:
npm install xastscriptvar u = require('unist-builder')
var x = require('xastscript')
// Children as an array:
console.log(
x('album', {id: 123}, [
x('name', 'Born in the U.S.A.'),
x('artist', 'Bruce Springsteen'),
x('releasedate', '1984-04-06')
])
)
// Children as arguments:
console.log(
x(
'album',
{id: 123},
x('name', 'Exile in Guyville'),
x('artist', 'Liz Phair'),
x('releasedate', '1993-06-22')
)
)
// For other xast nodes, such as comments, instructions, doctypes, or cdata
// can be created with unist-builder:
console.log(
u('root', [
u('instruction', {name: 'xml'}, 'version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"'),
x('album', [
u('comment', 'Great album!'),
x('name', 'Born in the U.S.A.'),
x('description', [u('cdata', '3 < 5 & 8 > 13')])
])
])

}Qualified name (string).
Case sensitive and can contain a namespace prefix (such as rdf:RDF).
Map of attributes (Object.<*>, optional).
Nully (null or undefined) or NaN values are ignored, other values are
turned to strings.
Cannot be omitted if children is a Node.
(Lists of) child nodes (string, Node, Array.<children>, optional).
When strings are encountered, they are mapped to text nodes.
XML can be a dangerous language: don’t trust user-provided data.
