The **xml-js** library is a utility for converting between XML text and JavaScript objects/JSON text. It supports both compact and non-compact formats, with the non-compact format preserving the order of elements and being fully XML compliant. The library is designed for developers who need to work with XML data in JavaScript environments, offering features like customizable key names, callback hooks for processing, and support for command-line usage. It is lightweight, with minimal dependencies, and includes TypeScript definitions for better integration. The project is well-maintained, with comprehensive documentation and active community support.
