[Users] Available Node pacakges for WFS

Hi all,

I've written a small Python script that can be used to generate a GeoExt.data.model.Feature and a GeoExt.data.store.WfsFeatures by connecting to a WFS service, reading the schema, and converting the data types. 
This makes use of the Python OWSLib [1]library that can connect to and work with WFS services. I'm thinking of converting this to a JS/Node based script/package to better fit with other GeoExt / Sencha tools. 

Does anyone know of a JS/Node library to work with WFS services? There a couple of simple packages on Node [2] but they don't seem to be able to retrieve schema. 

Is it possible to use the OL package in Node and use this to read the schema with [3]? There is one closed issue on GitHub about using OL server-side [4]. Does anyone know of any newer examples?

Regards,

Seth
