xml-but-prettier

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A minimal XML beautifier that formats XML documents by placing each tag and text node on its own line with proper indentation. The current stable version is 1.0.1, released in 2017 with no further updates since. It is a fork of xml-beautifier and offers a simple function signature with two options: indentor (custom indentation string) and textNodesOnSameLine (to compress text nodes onto the same line as their parent tags). It supports ESM imports and has no runtime dependencies.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import xmlButPrettier from 'xml-but-prettier'

✗ const xmlButPrettier = require('xml-but-prettier')

Package exports a single default function. CommonJS require works but ESM is preferred.

xmlButPrettier

✓ import xmlButPrettier from 'xml-but-prettier'

✗ import { xmlButPrettier } from 'xml-but-prettier'

It's a default export, not a named export.

default type

✓ import xmlButPrettier from 'xml-but-prettier'

✗ import xmlButPrettier = require('xml-but-prettier')

TypeScript users should use default import syntax; no bundled type definitions exist.

Formats an XML string with 2-space indentation and keeps text nodes on the same line as their parent tags.

import xmlButPrettier from 'xml-but-prettier'; const ugly = '<div><span>foo</span><p>bar</p></div>'; const pretty = xmlButPrettier(ugly, { indentor: ' ', textNodesOnSameLine: true }); console.log(pretty); // Output: // <div> // <span>foo</span> // <p>bar</p> // </div>

Known issues

breakingOptions moved from second argument to config object in v1.0.0. Previously, options were passed as separate arguments, e.g. xmlButPrettier(xml, ' ', true). Now they must be passed as an object: xmlButPrettier(xml, { indentor: ' ', textNodesOnSameLine: true }).

fix

Update call to use config object: xmlButPrettier(xml, { indentor: '  ', textNodesOnSameLine: true }).

affects: <1.0.0

breakingNode.js 0.12 support dropped in v1.0.0.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 4 or higher.

affects: <1.0.0

deprecatedNo releases since 2017. The package is in maintenance mode and may not receive updates.

fix

Consider using an actively maintained alternative like 'xml-formatter' or 'pretty-data'.

affects: >=1.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: xmlButPrettier is not a function

Using named import instead of default import.

fix

Use import xmlButPrettier from 'xml-but-prettier'

Error: Expected a string, got object

Passing options as separate arguments instead of config object in v1.x. Options must be an object.

fix

Call xmlButPrettier(xml, { indentor: '  ', textNodesOnSameLine: true })

Cannot find module 'xml-but-prettier'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install xml-but-prettier
