Fast XML Parser version 4.1.2 represents a minor update to version 4.1.1, offering developers a robust solution for XML validation, parsing, and building entirely in JavaScript, eliminating the need for C/C++ based libraries. Both versions share identical dependencies, relying on "strnum" for string to number conversions. Development dependencies remain consistent, encompassing tools like "he" for HTML entity encoding, "nyc" for code coverage, "eslint" for linting, "cytorus" for testing, "jasmine" for behavior-driven development, "webpack" and associated loaders/plugins for bundling, "prettier" for code formatting, and Babel for JavaScript transpilation.
The core functionalities and licensing (MIT) are unchanged between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Both versions are maintained by Amit Gupta, and the project continues to accept funding via PayPal. The repository remains accessible on GitHub. The key difference lies in the "dist" section: while both versions comprise 20 files, the unpacked size has slightly increased from 100356 bytes in 4.1.1 to 100527 bytes in 4.1.2. This suggests minor code enhancements or bug fixes leading to a slightly larger footprint. The release dates differ significantly, with version 4.1.2 being released on February 12, 2023, after version 4.1.1 published at February 3, 2023. For developers, this indicates a potentially more stable or refined iteration, warranting an upgrade from older versions. Check Release notes to get more information.
