## What it is
A JavaScript library that converts XML text to JavaScript objects or JSON and vice versa. It preserves element order, is fully XML compliant (attributes, CDATA, comments, DOCTYPE, declarations), and produces reversible conversions.

## Use cases
- convert xml to json in nodejs
- convert json to xml
- parse xml preserving element order
- xml parser with cdata support
- lossless xml json round-trip conversion
- transform xml config files to javascript objects

## When to choose
- you need reversible, lossless XML↔JSON conversion
- element order in XML documents must be preserved
- you need full XML compliance including CDATA, DOCTYPE, and processing instructions
- you want a lightweight library with minimal dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need extremely fast streaming parsing of huge XML files
- you want compact merged output like most xml2js libraries rather than order-preserving structure
- you need XPath or XML schema validation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser, serialization
- domain: parsers, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: xml, json, xml2js, js2xml, cdata, converter, lossless-conversion, nodejs, javascript
