XMLDOM-TS library

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

Based on the great work of XMLDOM.

Requirements

• Node v12.x or greater

Release Notes

See CHANGELOG.md

Usage

Install with npm:

npm install xmldom-ts

Example:

• Transparent import

  import 'xmldom-ts';
  
  const parser = new DOMParser();

• Direct import to specify XMLDOM specific options

  import { DOMParserImpl } from 'xmldom-ts';
  
  const parser = new DOMParserImpl({});

• Usage

  import 'xmldom-ts';
  
  const 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');
  const nsAttr = doc.documentElement.getAttributeNS('./lite', 'x');
  console.info(nsAttr);
  console.info(doc);

API Documentation

• DOMParser:

  	```javascript
  	parseFromString(xmlsource,mimeType)
  	```
  	* **options extension** _by xmldom_(not BOM standard!!)
  
  	```javascript
  	//added the options argument
  	new DOMParserImpl(options)
  
  	//errorHandler is supported
  	new DOMParserImpl({
  		/**
  		 * 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 javascript serializeToString(node) DOM level2 method and attribute:

---

• Node attribute: nodeValue|prefix readonly attribute: nodeName|nodeType|parentNode|childNodes|firstChild|lastChild|previousSibling|nextSibling|attributes|ownerDocument|namespaceURI|localName method: insertBefore(newChild, refChild) replaceChild(newChild, oldChild) removeChild(oldChild) appendChild(newChild) hasChildNodes() cloneNode(deep) normalize() isSupported(feature, version) hasAttributes()

• DOMImplementation method: hasFeature(feature, version) createDocumentType(qualifiedName, publicId, systemId) createDocument(namespaceURI, qualifiedName, doctype)

• Document : Node readonly attribute: doctype|implementation|documentElement method: createElement(tagName) createDocumentFragment() createTextNode(data) createComment(data) createCDATASection(data) createProcessingInstruction(target, data) createAttribute(name) createEntityReference(name) getElementsByTagName(tagname) importNode(importedNode, deep) createElementNS(namespaceURI, qualifiedName) createAttributeNS(namespaceURI, qualifiedName) getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI, localName) getElementById(elementId)

• DocumentFragment : Node

• Element : Node readonly attribute: tagName method: getAttribute(name) setAttribute(name, value) removeAttribute(name) getAttributeNode(name) setAttributeNode(newAttr) removeAttributeNode(oldAttr) getElementsByTagName(name) getAttributeNS(namespaceURI, localName) setAttributeNS(namespaceURI, qualifiedName, value) removeAttributeNS(namespaceURI, localName) getAttributeNodeNS(namespaceURI, localName) setAttributeNodeNS(newAttr) getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI, localName) hasAttribute(name) hasAttributeNS(namespaceURI, localName)

• Attr : Node attribute: value readonly attribute: name|specified|ownerElement

• NodeList readonly attribute: length method: item(index)

• NamedNodeMap

  		readonly attribute:
  			length
  		method:
  			getNamedItem(name)
  			setNamedItem(arg)
  			removeNamedItem(name)
  			item(index)
  			getNamedItemNS(namespaceURI, localName)
  			setNamedItemNS(arg)
  			removeNamedItemNS(namespaceURI, localName)
  

• CharacterData : Node method: substringData(offset, count) appendData(arg) insertData(offset, arg) deleteData(offset, count) replaceData(offset, count, arg)
• Text : CharacterData method: splitText(offset)
• CDATASection
• Comment : CharacterData
• DocumentType readonly attribute: name|entities|notations|publicId|systemId|internalSubset
• Notation : Node readonly attribute: publicId|systemId
• Entity : Node readonly attribute: publicId|systemId|notationName
• EntityReference : Node
• ProcessingInstruction : Node attribute: data readonly attribute: target

DOM level 3 support:

• Node attribute: textContent method: isDefaultNamespace(namespaceURI){ lookupNamespaceURI(prefix)

DOM extension by xmldom

• [Node] Source position extension; attribute: //Numbered starting from '1' lineNumber //Numbered starting from '1' columnNumber
