Saxes is a sax-style, evented streaming XML parser for JavaScript. It is non-validating, designed to be stricter about XML well-formedness, and emits events like open tags, text, errors, and end, making it useful for parsing XML from character streams in Node.js or in the browser.

  • v5.0.1

    4/10/2020

    Release v5.0.1 was published on 2020-04-10, but no release notes or change log details were provided by the publisher. As a result, the specific code changes, fixes, or compatibility impacts cannot be determined from the release notes alone.

  • v5.0.0

    2/28/2020

    The release v5.0.0 notes are missing entirely, so there is no documented guidance on what changed between v5.0.0-rc.2 and v5.0.0. The provided diff shows only changelog/package/build metadata updates and development dependency bumps, with no runtime/library code changes shown.

  • v5.0.0-rc.2

    2/12/2020

    v5.0.0-rc.2 does not include any documented feature or code change in the release notes (none provided). The diff only updates version strings and publishing-related npm scripts, plus a small CHANGELOG header change and the package-lock version field.

  • v5.0.0-rc.1

    2/12/2020

    v5.0.0-rc.1 is a major release candidate that rewrites saxes from JavaScript to TypeScript and introduces a new event subscription API. The publisher release notes are not provided in the release payload, so the key behavioral and API changes are only discoverable by inspecting the code diff.
