TypeError: str.charCodeAt is not a function

[mraak]

What could possibly be wrong here? I'm using it in Node environment.

function createManifest(){
  const imsData = {
    "manifest":{
      "a":"b"
    }
  console.log(imsData)  
  const imsDataXml = js2xmlparser.parse(imsData) // line 88
  console.log(imsDataXml)
}

And the output

{ manifest: { a: 'b' } }
C:\dev\projects\f1\f1\node_modules\xmlcreate\lib\validate.js:116
    var initialFirstChar = str.charCodeAt(0);
                               ^

It seems this is not a bug, it is just an misunderstanding of the API I guess, you should provide the root element name at the first argument of the parse function and after that you should provide the actual object.

Can you please try this:

const imsDataXml = js2xmlparser.parse('imsData', imsData);
// or
const rootElement = Object.keys(imsData)[0];
const imsDataXml = js2xmlparser.parse(rootElement, imsData[rootElement]);
