Yet there are no decent XML libraries for node.js.

I'd trade decent JSON support for decent XML support every single day of the week.

And Scala/Java/JVM have already solved the problems you mention above.

"I'd trade decent JSON support for decent XML support every single day of the week."

Just out of interest, why is that?

I work with JSON at least once a week, but it can be months between moments when I need to work with any XML.

I quite like https://npmjs.org/package/sax

What is it you think is missing XML-wise in Node.js?

1. libxmljs can take you pretty far with NodeJS.

2. Whatever we're saying here includes only NodeJS vs PHP.
