Duplicate package xml-bodyparser

[Kiranmai1404]

Could someone please clarify why there is a different package https://www.npmjs.com/package/xml-bodyparser with same github repository link and similar code except few updates like changed dependencies versions and code changes in \lib\types\xml.js.

Hi @Kiranmai1404, thanks for raising this issue. I probably should have looked into this earlier.

The other npm package is from a fork of this repository having these legit changes master...onalbi:express-xml-bodyparser:master.

Main change (beside updating some dependencies and adding Typescript definitions) is exposing data property in case the xml2js threw an error. I assume that would allow adding custom error handling, e.g. returning information details to clients posting invalid XML.

var responseHandler = function (err, xml) {
        if (err) {
          err.status = 400;
          err.data = data;
          return next(err);
        }
