npm install xml-utilsXML tags are represented by a simple object with an outer and inner property. The "outer" property is the text string that completely encompasses the tag, equivalent to an HTML element's "outerHTML". The "inner" property represents the sub-parts of the tag. It is similar to an HTML element's "textContent". Here's an example of a tag:
{
outer: "<MDI key="INTERLEAVE">PIXEL</MDI>",
inner: "PIXEL"
}const getAttribute = require("xml-utils/get-attribute.js");
const xml = `<MDI key="INTERLEAVE">PIXEL</MDI>`;
const key = getAttribute(xml, "key");
// key is "INTERLEAVE"const findTagByName = require("xml-utils/find-tag-by-name.js");
const xml = `<Metadata domain="IMAGE_STRUCTURE"><MDI key="INTERLEAVE">PIXEL</MDI></Metadata>`
const tag = findTagByName(xml, "MDI");tag is
{
outer: "<MDI key="INTERLEAVE">PIXEL</MDI>",
inner: "PIXEL"
}const findTagsByName = require("xml-utils/find-tags-by-name.js");
const xml = `
<Metadata>
<MDI key="SourceBandIndex">1</MDI>
<MDI key="STATISTICS_MAXIMUM">255</MDI>
<MDI key="STATISTICS_MEAN">96.372431147996</MDI>
<MDI key="STATISTICS_MINIMUM">0</MDI>
<MDI key="STATISTICS_STDDEV">50.057898474622</MDI>
</Metadata>

const tags = findTagsByName(xml, "MDI");
// tags is an array of tagsconst findTagByPath = require("xml-utils/find-tag-by-path.js");
const xml = `

const tag = findTagByPath(xml, ["gmd:RS_Identifier", "gmd:code", "gco:CharacterString"]);To get an array of tags that follow a path:
const findTagsByPath = require("xml-utils/find-tags-by-path.js");
const tags = findTagsByPath(xml, ["Metadata", "MDI"]);
// tags is an array of tags
// find description for 10th tag in list
const tags = findTagsByPath(iso, [
{ name: "gmd:onLine", index: 9 }, // using zero-based index
"gmd:description",
"gco:CharacterString"
]);const removeComments = require("xml-utils/remove-comments.js");
const xml = `<list>
<!--<A/>-->
<B/>
</list>`;
removeComments(xml);
"<list>\n \n<B/><list>";const removeTagsByName = require("xml-utils/remove-tags-by-name.js");
const xml = "<ul><li>A</li><li>B</li></ul>";
