How do you convert xml to json (ideally without dependencies)

[cowboysdude]

xml2js is the only way I know to do it. I know we try to not use dependencies but sometimes it can’t be helped.

@cowboysdude Do we? Didn’t know about that. Why? Because it’s getting too complex?

[cowboysdude]

@lavolp3 Well I use the principle that less moving parts tends to make things easier… :)

[lavolp3]

@cowboysdude well you’re right in the aspect that one dependency of your rfacts module messed up the whole module for me.
Luckily it’s shining bright on my mirror now. And the facts are really good.
Now back to OT…

Thanks for your posts, i got some further.

1. i added following line in my node_helper.js

const parser = require("./MMM-Dreambox-xml2json.js");

So node_helper.js checks for MMM-Dreambox-xml2json.js within the same directory.
After this, i can use a function of MMM-Dreambox-xml2json.js inside of node_helper.js by calling parser.functionname() in my case parser.xml2json().
