[aniltallam]

Following code is throwing error at line number 3

let xmlString = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'
let doc = new Dom().parseFromString(xmlString)
let nXmlString = doc.toString()

Error details:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prefix' of null at Document.nodeSerializeToString [as toString] (E:\repos\temp\integrator-adaptor\node_modules\xmldom\dom.js:920:22)

same error

For me, this happens whenever I perform a delete operation using "removeChild". I want to update the dom as I process individual nodes. But this issue is preventing me from completing that solution.

Got the same Error with:

const xmldom = require('xmldom')
const domParser = new xmldom.DOMParser()
const xmlSerializer = new xmldom.XMLSerializer()

let xmlString = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'
let doc =  domParser.parseFromString(xmlString)
let nXmlString = xmlSerializer.serializeToString(doc)
console.log(nXmlString)

But when you change <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><div/>

it will work

This project is not active anymore. You can try fast-xml-parser instead

Possibly from #124 .
