Hi Baptiste,
Last time I checked, DOM/XML support was lacking on node.js,
specifically around support for namespaced attributes, it may have been
fixed since.
Regardless though, as far as I'm aware rdflib.js hasn't updated to work
on node properly yet, and node.js specific rdf/xml support hasn't been
added. This is most likely a problem with all RDF tooling for node.js,
although as I say libs may have been updated and it may now be supported
by somebody.
Tim, Adrian, Antonio, or Niklas (all cc'd) may be able to confirm this.
FWIW, a few of us are going to be looking at updating some of the rdf
libraries for js in the very near future, so we can keep you posted.
In the meantime, certainly Turtle is well supported in node.js RDF
tooling, so you can get going and add rdf/xml support as and when it's
available.
Best,
Nathan
