Package Exports

parse-bmfont-xml

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (parse-bmfont-xml) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

parse-bmfont-xml

Parses XML BMFont files.

Takes a string or Buffer:

var fs = require('fs')
var parse = require('parse-bmfont-xml')

fs.readFileSync(__dirname+'/Arial.fnt', function(err, data) {
  var result = parse(data)
  console.log(result.info.face)   // "Arial"
  console.log(result.pages)       // [ 'sheet0.png' ]
  console.log(result.chars)       // [ ... char data ... ]
  console.log(result.kernings)    // [ ... kernings data ... ]
})

The spec for the returned JSON object is here. The input XML should match the spec with a <font> root element, see [test/Nexa Light-32.fnt](test/Nexa Light-32.fnt) for an example.

Usage

`result = parse(data)`

Parses data, a string or Buffer that represents XML data of an AngelCode BMFont file. The returned result object looks like this:

{
     pages: [
         "sheet_0.png", 
         "sheet_1.png"
     ],
     chars: [
         { chnl, height, id, page, width, x, y, xoffset, yoffset, xadvance },
         ...
     ],
     info: { ... },
     common: { ... },
     kernings: [
         { first, second, amount }
     ]
}
