Getting Started

The example.html file shows an example of basic usage. You'll need to change paths to skulpt and the xml module first.

Add the xml.sk specific Skulpt configuration options

// tell Skulpt where to find xml.sk
Sk.externalLibraries = {
  xml : {
    path : '/path/to/xml.sk/__init__.js'
  },
  'xml.etree' : {
    path : '/path/to/xml.sk/etree/__init__.js'
  },
  'xml.etree.ElementTree' : {
    path : '/path/to/xml.sk/etree/ElementTree.js'
  }
};
