Require is not defined xml2js

Question

I would like to use the library xml2js. I install it on the project folder with the npm.

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

I have an error when i execute node myfile.js:

d:\Profiles\user\ProjectIDE\Aproject\parseXML.js:3
parseString.(xml, function (err, result) {
            ^

Answer 1

Syntax Error:

Instead of this:

parseString.(xml, function (err, result) {
    console.dir(result);
});

Try this:

parseString(xml, function (err, result) {
    console.dir(result);
});
