How to convert JavaScript code to a xml representation of the ast? -

i building xml serializer of javascript abstract syntax trees antlr. generator quite complete know if there conventions issues such as:

• how handle angle brackets in strings or regular expressions?
• how translate if-then-else (e.g. else node inside if 1 or not)?

more generally: such translator exist? there existing xsd xml-based language?

edit

i interested in free tools only.

parsers perform code generation xml , generate xml code readily available:

• custom pmd rules - o'reilly media

• estools/esvalid: confirm spidermonkey format ast represents ecmascript program

• jantimon/handlebars-to-ecmascript: convert handlebars ecmascript ast

• estools/estemplate: proper (ast-based) javascript code templating source maps support.

• estools/esrecurse: ast recursive visitor

• estools/estraverse: ecmascript js ast traversal functions

• estools/escope: escope: ecmascript scope analyzer

• estools/esquery: ecmascript ast query library.

you ask, "does such translator exist?". if question is, "does exist in antlr?" suspect you'll find answer @ antlr.org site. company has such translator issues resolved; if you'd see output sample answer here i'll produce 1 javascript.

here's link xml output java: what ast (abstract syntax tree) object-oriented programming language like?
