In the beginning of the year, I added streaming support with for await loop to my xml parser txml. since then, until summer in grow slowly to 1000 weekly downloads.

the package I first published almost 5 years ago, but never had real download numbers, maybe someone try it, but most downloads are from npm mirror services.

Then I wrote an article on dev, I added the parser as a good option to a few questions on stack overflow, and link it here on dev in some comments (txml). and now I am very happy with 13000 weekly downloads. and with some feedback I work on version 4. That is likely to be more strict.

Great work. I think the most successful libraries are ones which are very clearly defined to do one thing.

Could not agree more! In our work, we use exactly such ones!
