Change Log

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[8.2.2] - 2016-04-08

• Falsy values can now be used as a text node in callback mode.

  [8.2.1] - 2016-04-07

• Falsy values can now be used as a text node. See

[8.2.0] - 2016-04-01

• Removed lodash dependency to keep the library small and simple. See

• Added title case to name conversion options.

  [8.1.0] - 2016-03-29

• Added the callback option to the begin export function. When used with a

`` js var result = '';

builder.begin(function(chunk) { result += chunk; }) .dec() .ele('root') .ele('xmlbuilder').up() .end();

Replaced native Object.assign with lodash.assign to support old JS engines.  See #111.
[8.0.0] - 2016-03-25
Added the begin export function. See the wiki for details.
Added the ability to add comments and processing instructions before and after the root element. Added commentBefore, commentAfter, instructionBefore and instructionAfter functions for this purpose.
Dropped support for old node.js releases. Minimum required node.js version is now 4.0.
[7.0.0] - 2016-03-21
Processing instructions are now created as regular nodes. This is a major breaking change if you are using processing instructions. Previously processing instructions were inserted before their parent node. After this change processing instructions are appended to the children of the parent node. Note that it is not currently possible to insert processing instructions before or after the root element.

[6.0.0] - 2016-03-20
Added custom XML writers. The default string conversion functions are now collected under the XMLStringWriter class which can be accessed by the stringWriter(options) function exported by the module. An XMLStreamWriter is also added which outputs the XML document to a writable stream. A stream writer can be created by calling the streamWriter(stream, options) function exported by the module. Both classes are heavily customizable and the details are added to the wiki. It is also possible to write an XML writer from scratch and use it when calling end() on the XML document.
[5.0.1] - 2016-03-08
Moved require statements for text case conversion to the top of files to reduce lazy requires.
[5.0.0] - 2016-03-05
Added text case option for element names and attribute names. Valid cases are lower, upper, camel, kebab and snake.
Attribute and element values are escaped according to the Canonical XML 1.0 specification. See #54 and #86.
Added the allowEmpty option to end(). When this option is set, empty elements are not self-closed.
Added support for nested CDATA. The triad ]]> in CDATA is now automatically replaced with ]]]]>.
