Getting Started

Install

Install the libxml2-wasm npm package using your preferred method, such as:

npm install libxml2-wasm
Copy

Import The Lib

Now, let’s import the libxml2-wasm module. Since it’s an ES module, the import process differs between ES modules and CommonJS modules.

From ES Module

Import it directly.

import { XmlDocument } from 'libxml2-wasm';
const doc = XmlDocument.fromString('<note><to>Tove</to></note>');
doc.dispose();
Copy

From CommonJS

Dynamic import is needed:

import('libxml2-wasm').then(({ XmlDocument }) => {
    const doc = XmlDocument.fromString('<note><to>Tove</to></note>');
    doc.dispose();
});
Copy

Important Note:

Remember to call the dispose() method on the XmlDocument instance to prevent memory leaks. For more detailed information on memory management, refer to Memory Management.

Troubleshooting:

If the target environment version is set too low, the transpiler (e.g., TypeScript, Babel, etc.) may convert the import statement to a function call to require(). This can lead to runtime errors.
