Building a type-safe and idiomatic XML library for typescript

Apr 2023

What is this project?

During my time at Cityspan, while developing a migration tool, I realized there was a lack of effective tools for managing complex XML. This inspired me to create a type-safe and idiomatic library in TypeScript, specifically designed for working with XML, in my spare time.

Overview

  • XML Node Class Representation: Enables representation of XML nodes as classes, similar to features in many other programming languages, enhancing usability and clarity.
  • Type-Checked Fields and Children: Implements rigorous type-checking for node fields and children, ensuring type safety throughout the XML handling process.
  • Streaming Support for Large XML Files: Facilitates the streaming of large XML files, making it efficient to process and manipulate extensive datasets without overwhelming system resources.
