For a [node.js][node] project I'm working on I wanted to generate a [Sphinx
|
|
xmlpipe2][xmlpipe] data stream. The options for generating XML with node.js
|
|
seemed a bit limited. The main contender appeared to be [libmljs] but it
|
|
segfaulted whenever I tried to use it. So with previous experience using Tim Bray's [Genx][genx] C library I decided to write
|
|
bindings for node. The result is [node-genx], which is available via [npm].
|
|
|
|
npm install genx
|
|
|
|
[node]: http://nodejs.org/
|
|
[xmlpipe]: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-1.10.html#xmlpipe2
|
|
[libmljs]: https://github.com/polotek/libxmljs
|
|
[node-genx]: https://github.com/wezm/node-genx
|
|
[genx]: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2004/02/20/GenxStatus
|
|
[npm]: http://npmjs.org/
|
|
|
|
Example Usage
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Provided below are a couple of examples of using the genx module. To run them you will need the following modules, the version
|
|
used at the time of writing is noted in brackets. The examples were developed
|
|
against node.js v0.2.6.
|
|
|
|
* jquery (1.4.4)
|
|
* jsdom (0.1.20)
|
|
* genx (0.8.0)
|
|
* node-uuid (1.1.0)
|
|
|
|
These packages can be installed via npm. Note that jsdom is omitted from the list because
|
|
it is a dependency of jquery:
|
|
|
|
npm install jquery genx node-uuid
|
|
|
|
### xmlpipe2
|
|
|
|
In this example the first 10 Google search results for "node.js xml" are retrieved
|
|
and converted into an xmlpipe2 stream, suitable for indexing with Sphinx.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Atom Feed
|
|
|
|
In this example, as in the former the first 10 Google search results for "node.js xml"
|
|
are retrieved and converted into an Atom feed.
|
|
|
|
<script src="https://gist.github.com/796432.js?file=genx-atom.js"></script>
