Shailendra,

Try this program:

#!/usr/bin/env node

var libxmljs = require('libxmljs');

var fs = require('fs');

function parseXmlFile(filename) {

  fs.readFile(filename, function (err, contents) {

    if (err) {

      console.error('error reading file', filename + ':', err);

      return;

    }

    var xml = libxmljs.parseXmlString(contents);

    console.log(xml.version());

    console.log(xml.root().name());

  });

}

parseXmlFile(process.argv[2]);

And call like this:

node parse-xml.js sample.xml

Hope this helps.

Hi,

can you please tell how to get the whole data of .xml file printed similar to version and name?

and can you please tell, how would I come to know that what are the functions a node module has?

for example you have used a function "parseXmlString" in this line?  var xml = libxmljs.parseXmlString(contents);

Thanks
Vibhuti
