Support of xmlReader?

[georgyfarniev]

Hello, is it possible to use stream xml parser: http://xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html ?

Hi! It is not yet.
Pass me all the libxml2 functions you will need I will implement this wrappers for you.

@radixo, hello. Thanks for quick answer and your willing to help, and sorry for delayed response from me. It would be great to have a whole API for xmlReader, because parsing enormously large XML files in node is pain. I was looking for something like JSONStream for XML, but most of this parsers are abandoned. I trust libxml2, because I used it with C and I think it's important to have good wrapper for node.

Thank you for your job. I will get closer to XML parsing very soon and can provide you help with creating wrapper and feedback if necessary. Also, I will look for other wrappers.

Great @georgyfarniev, thanks for all, I created it cause I needed some fns from libxml2 that other wrappers did not implemented, like c14n canonicalization ones. And I'm using it on AWS lambda so I'm using node-pre-gyp to deliver compiled ones for Linux.
Sorry for my delay now, It will be great to have your help here.

I will wirte a TODO.md with xmlReader on top of it.

Hi @radixo, I already found xml-stream package that fits my purpose. However, I think it would be great if node have complete wrapper for libxml2, for people who want to use well-tested and stable library for handling with large amount of XML's.
