Awesome tool! Quick question

[jkluver]

What would cause all elements to be surrounded in brackets? Currently have:

• explicitArray = false
• mergeAttrs = true
• trim = true
• normalize = true
  rest are default

        "id": [
          "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567abcd2"
        ],
        "entryTime": [
          "2020-10-27T12:24:09-04:00"
        ],
        "lineNumber": [
          "2"
        ],
        "qty": [
          "1"
        ],
        "nof": [
          "false"
        ],
        "dollars": [
          "39.88"
        ],

hello @jkluver, it should be explicitArray (always put child nodes in an array if true)

[jkluver]

Thank you for the reply @anhthang. Should the settings be default for everything except explicitArray = true? Below is a sample and what I was hoping to see.

XML sample:

<test1>
    <id>12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567abcd2</id>
    <entryTime>2020-10-27T12:23:09-04:00</entryTime>
    <lineNumber>2</lineNumber>
    <quantity>1</quantity>
    <nof>false</nof>
    <dollars>29.97</dollars>
</test1>

Results:

{
  "test1": {
    "id": [
      "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567abcd2"
    ],
    "entryTime": [
      "2020-10-27T12:23:09-04:00"
    ],
    "lineNumber": [
      "2"
    ],
    "quantity": [
      "1"
    ],
    "nof": [
      "false"
    ],
    "dollars": [
      "29.97"
    ]
  }
}

Looking for:

{
  "test1": {
    "id": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567abcd2",
    "entryTime": "2020-10-27T12:23:09-04:00",
    "lineNumber": "2",
    "quantity": "1",
    "nof": "false",
    "dollars": "29.97"
  }
}

@jkluver i think you're using xml2js config as default settings, so you can change it to custom and add the option explicitArray = false like what you want.

Or you can use xmlbuilder settings with the config like below:

charkey: '#text',
explicitArray: false,
mergeAttrs: true,
attrNameProcessors: [str => `@${str}`]

Fantastic! Thank you so much!!
