ssml-builder

ssml-builder is a JavaScript library that simplifies the creation of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) by providing a builder pattern API. It eliminates the need for error-prone string concatenation and automatically handles special characters, making SSML generation more reliable and developer-friendly. ## Key Features - **Builder Pattern API** — Provides a clean, chainable interface for constructing SSML programmatically. - **Special Character Handling** — Automatically escapes characters like '&' to ensure well-formed XML output. - **Comprehensive SSML Tag Support** — Supports standard SSML tags (break, emphasis, prosody, say-as, etc.) and Amazon-specific extensions (amazon:effect, w). - **Alexa SDK Compatibility** — Works seamlessly with both the old and new versions of the Alexa Skills Kit SDK for Node.js. - **Unit-Tested Reliability** — Fully tested to ensure consistent behavior and correctness. ## Philosophy ssml-builder aims to remove the headaches of manual SSML construction by offering a simple, intuitive API that abstracts away XML complexities, allowing developers to focus on content rather than formatting.
