How to put the text in the front of a tag when parse a xml?

[wxfred]

Input

const xml = `
<a>
  some text here
  <c attr="xxx"></c>
  <b attr="xxx"></b>
</a>
`

Output by

const parser = new XMLParser({
  ignoreAttributes: false,
  attributeNamePrefix: '',
  textNodeName : 'text',
})
const xmlObj = parser.parse(xml)
console.log(xmlObj)

// Output 1
{
 a : {
    c: { attr: 'xxx' },
    b: { attr: 'xxx' },
    text: 'some text here',
  }
}

Desired output

// Output 2
{
 a : {
    text: 'some text here',
    c: { attr: 'xxx' },
    b: { attr: 'xxx' },
  }
}

If i rebuild the output,

const builder = new XMLBuilder({
  ignoreAttributes: false,
  attributeNamePrefix: '',
  textNodeName : 'text',
  format: true,
  indentBy: '    ',
})
console.log(builder.build(xmlObj))

the rebuild result of Output 1 is

<a>
    <c attr="xxx"></c>
    <b attr="xxx"></b>
 some text here</a>

the rebuild result of Output 2 is below, and the order of tag's text is the same as the Input, this is what i want

<a>
some text here    <c attr="xxx"></c>
    <b attr="xxx"></b>
</a>

do you mean the indentation of tag's text is not as per expectation?

@amitguptagwl Sorry, I make a mistake. The builder can build tag's text in right order, what i want is changing the parse order of tag's text, so the builder can build the text before the child tag. I have changed the title and description of this topic, pls have a look.

This should solve your issue: https://github.com/NaturalIntelligence/fast-xml-parser/blob/master/docs/v4/2.XMLparseOptions.md#preserveorder

@amitguptagwl When preserveOrder: true , you get some long ugly result.
The result is ugly, it is not convenient to add something or modify something.

@wxfred In JS, you can ensure the sequence of properties. This is not the issue with this library. Hence, that;s the only solution.
