Reference Error: DEBUG is not defined.

[Anirudh17072000]

Currently I am using html2json npm package but it is giving me the error DEBUG is not defined.
I am using it for converting html code to json in an angular project.

Kindly help me out with this issue.

Also got that issue. No idea why suddenly. Can't use this package anymore.

I got the same problem, at first I decided to patch it with yarn patch, because I think the DEBUG var was not correctly hoisted, for some reason. Maybe the new ES versions treat this differently...last commit on this package was 7 years ago.

So, a very dumb patch (also why I didn't consider submitting a PR lol) :

// DEBUG = false;
// var debug = DEBUG ? console.log.bind(console) : function(){};
const debug = function () {};

But then I faced another problem, this time coming from the integrated HTML parser library (in the lib directory). After a few research, it looks like this library is also quite "old" (2008-2010 probably). Error also comes from something which probably didn't behave that way back in the time.

So in the end, I just decided to migrate to another library : https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-to-json-parser
Objects format is different, but migration was pretty easy. Also beware the API is async.
