==========
MiniSAX.js
==========

A very simple SAX (Simple API for XML) library written in JavaScript. It
parses a piece of XML and generates events, a handler can be written to
act upon those events. This is a speedy and light-weight way of handling
XML, that doesn't use as much memory as DOM does.

Installation
------------

Just place the package somewhere and add a <script> tag to the document with
a src attribute that points to the minisax.js file. To run the unit tests,
install ECMAUnit 0.3 (availalbe from http://kupu.oscom.org, 0.3 is currently 
unreleased, get it by svn from http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/trunk/ecmaunit)
in the directory that contains the 'minisax.js' package.

Usage
-----

For an example on usage, see 'example.html' and 'testhandler.js'. For
documentation, see the 'minisax.js' file itself (documentation strings in
the code).

Status
------

The package is usable, although simple, but doesn't yet handle CDATA sections
or DTDs. There is hardly any error reporting, although it does warn on
incorrect nesting.

Future plans
------------

Currently Manos Batsis (from e.g. Sarissa) is working on a follow-up for this
package, which implements SAX 2. Check http://debris.demon.nl for updates.

Joining development
-------------------

Although I wrote the current codebase alone, help would be appreciated. If you
find bugs, have patches or want SVN access, send me an email 
(johnny@debris.demon.nl). I hope to move development of this library to a more
public place at some point, and set up mailinglists etc.
