# Libxmljs

LibXML bindings for [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)

    var libxmljs = require("libxmljs");
    var xml =  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' +
               '<root>' +
                   '<child foo="bar">' +
                       '<grandchild baz="fizbuzz">grandchild content</grandchild>' +
                   '</child>' +
                   '<sibling>with content!</sibling>' +
               '</root>';

    var xmlDoc = libxmljs.parseXmlString(xml);

    // xpath queries
    var gchild = xmlDoc.get('//grandchild');

    console.log(gchild.text());  // prints "grandchild content"

    var children = xmlDoc.root().childNodes();
    var child = children[0];

    console.log(child.attr('foo').value()); // prints "bar"

## API and Examples

Check out the wiki [http://github.com/polotek/libxmljs/wiki](http://github.com/polotek/libxmljs/wiki)

## Requirements

* [libxml2](http://www.xmlsoft.org/)
* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
* v8 (comes bundled with node, no need to install)
* [scons](http://www.scons.org/) (for building)

**pre-conditions**

You will need have the libxml2 library installed and also the libxml2-devel
package. This comes with the `xml2-config` utility that is needed for
compiling.  **This command must be in your path.**

The `scons` command is used for building and must also be in your path.

## Installation

**npm**
    npm install libxmljs

**source**

In the root of the source directory, just run `make`.  This will
generate the binary `libxmljs.node` in the root of the source folder.
You can copy this file to `~/.node_libraries` or any other directory
in your require path.

**tests**

    make test
  
    make test-verbose
