# XMLDOM [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bigeasy/xmldom.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/bigeasy/xmldom) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/bigeasy/xmldom/badge.png?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/bigeasy/xmldom) [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/xmldom.png)](http://badge.fury.io/js/xmldom)

A JavaScript implementation of W3C DOM for Node.js, Rhino and the browser. Fully
compatible with `W3C DOM level2`; and some compatible with `level3`. Supports
`DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` interface such as in browser.

Install:
-------
>npm install xmldom

Example:
====
```javascript
var DOMParser = require('xmldom').DOMParser;
var doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(
    '<xml xmlns="a" xmlns:c="./lite">\n'+
        '\t<child>test</child>\n'+
        '\t<child></child>\n'+
        '\t<child/>\n'+
    '</xml>'
    ,'text/xml');
doc.documentElement.setAttribute('x','y');
doc.documentElement.setAttributeNS('./lite','c:x','y2');
var nsAttr = doc.documentElement.getAttributeNS('./lite','x')
console.info(nsAttr)
console.info(doc)
```
API Reference
=====

 * [DOMParser](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOMParser):

	```javascript
	parseFromString(xmlsource,mimeType)
	```
	* **options extension** _by xmldom_(not BOM standard!!)

	```javascript
	//added the options argument
	new DOMParser(options)
	
	//errorHandler is supported
	new DOMParser({
		/**
		 * locator is always need for error position info
		 */
		locator:{},
		/**
		 * you can override the errorHandler for xml parser
		 * @link http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ErrorHandler.html
		 */
		errorHandler:{warning:function(w){console.warn(w)},error:callback,fatalError:callback}
		//only callback model
		//errorHandler:function(level,msg){console.log(level,msg)}
	})
		
	```

 * [XMLSerializer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XMLSerializer)
 
	```javascript
	serializeToString(node)
	```
