Description

"fast-xml-parser": "^4.2.2":
xml file as below without "#text" but parse json result contains "#text" field. How to avoid generate "#text" field in json ?

Input

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<VLAN Version="2.0">
  <Project Width="1920" Height="1080" Name="project_h01">
    <Page Width="1920" Height="1080" Name="page_3" BackgroundImage="photo\bg.png" Locked="False" ImageDisplayMode="Stretch">
    </Page>
	</Project>
</VLAN>

Code

const parseOptions = {
  attributeNamePrefix : "",
  // attrNodeName: "attr", //default is 'false'
  //textNodeName : "#text",
  ignoreAttributes : false,
  ignoreNameSpace : false,
  format: true,
  allowBooleanAttributes : false,
  parseNodeValue : false,
  parseAttributeValue : false,
  trimValues: false,
  cdataTagName: "__cdata", //default is 'false'
  cdataPositionChar: "\\c",
  parseTrueNumberOnly: false,
  numParseOptions:{
    hex: true,
    leadingZeros: true,
    //skipLike: /\+[0-9]{10}/
  },
  arrayMode: false, //"strict"
  attrValueProcessor: (val, attrName) => he.decode(val, {isAttributeValue: true}),//default is a=>a
  tagValueProcessor : (val, tagName) => he.decode(val), //default is a=>a
  stopNodes: ["parse-me-as-string"],
  alwaysCreateTextNode: false
};
const parser = new XMLParser(parseOptions);
fs.readFile('./file/project_h01.xml', 'utf-8', (err, data) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error('read error', err.message);
    }
    console.log('file content is： ', data);
    let jObj = parser.parse(data);  
    console.log("xml-->json is:\n " + JSON.stringify(jObj, "", "\t"));
    //console.log("xml-->json is:\n " + JSON.stringify(jObj));
})

Output

{
	"?xml": {
		"version": "1.0",
		"encoding": "utf-8"
	},
	"VLAN": {
		"Project": {
			"Page": {
				"#text": "Page",
				"Width": "1920",
				"Height": "1080",
				"Name": "page_3",
				"BackgroundImage": "photo\\bg.png",
				"Locked": "False",
				"ImageDisplayMode": "Stretch"
			},
			"#text": "ProjectProject",
			"Width": "1920",
			"Height": "1080",
			"Name": "project_h01"
		},
		"#text": "VLANVLAN",
		"Version": "2.0"
	},
	"#text": "!xml"
}

expected data

{
	"?xml": {
		"version": "1.0",
		"encoding": "utf-8"
	},
	"VLAN": {
		"Project": {
			"Page": {
				"#text": "Page",

it looks like a bug. let me check it my own.

I think this is happening because the order of attrName/tagName and val are reversed in your function parameters. You are using (val, name) when it should be (name, val).
