xml-to-es is a new Node.js module that converts XML (or SGML) into a JSON  
object suitable for indexing with ElasticSearch. The problem I am  
addressing is the unsuitability of the raw JSON typically output by XML  
parsers. xml-to-es offers configuration options for "flattening" and  
streamlining the JSON that is produced. In addition to a conversion script,  
the example files include a script for pushing the output to ElasticSearch.  
xml-to-es supports other output options besides JSON: currently text and  
HTML are available. ([http://github.org/imbroglioj/xml-to-es.git](http://github.org/imbroglioj/xml-to-es.git) or as an  
npm module)
