MarkLogic 8 - node.js API - Convert XML to JSON

Question

I am working learning the Javascript API for MarkLogic.

I do a query:

cts.search(
  cts.andQuery(
    [cts.wordQuery("abc"), cts.collectionQuery(["Strings"])]
  )
);

And get XML. I know how to convert this XML to JSON in XQuery, but how do I do it in Node? I can't seem to find it in the documentation.

This functionality is available in external modules. I've used xml2js and never had a problem, so I can recommend that.

Once you've installed the module (npm install --save xml2js), you can do something like this:

var parseString = require('xml2js').parseString;
var xml = "<root>Hello xml2js!</root>"
parseString(xml, function (err, result) {
    console.dir(JSON.stringify(result));
});

Oh I was looking for a MarkLogic library, but I just had the revelation that now that I'm working on using the node API instead of XQuery, I don't need to rely on their libraries anymore. Now I can use the full power of npm.
