JSON XML Converter

to run test

• git clone repo
• cd xml_and_json
• npm install
• npm run test

how libary works

• to create converter ex.

    const Converter = require('../json_to_xml_converter');
    let  converter = new Converter();

• to convert a json object to xml

    var args = JSON_OBJECT 
    var json_object  = converter.json_to_xml(args);

• to convert xml to json object

    var args = XML_STRING
    var xml_string = converter.xml_to_json(args);

• to tell converter that the xml string you are passing in has array elements

        var args = {
        	umm: {
            	attributes: { 
                	x: '10',                               
                },
				hold: [
					{count:"0"},
					{count:"1"}
				]
         	}
		};

		var valid_xml = `
			<umm x="10">
   				<hold>
        			<count>0</count>
        			<count>1</count>
    			</hold>
			</umm>`

       	converter.add_elements_that_are_arrays(["hold"]);
        var xml = converter.json_to_xml(args);
        expect(valid_xml).xml.to.equal(xml);
	});

• to clear the array possibilities for xml to json

    converter.clear_xml_array_name();

• needs another featuer implemented to handdle xml array within an array element

    //not implemented
