+# sax js
+
+A sax-style parser for XML and HTML.
+
+Designed with [node](http://nodejs.org/) in mind, but should work fine in
+the browser or other CommonJS implementations.
+
+## What This Is
+
+* A very simple tool to parse through an XML string.
+* A stepping stone to a streaming HTML parser.
+* A handy way to deal with RSS and other mostly-ok-but-kinda-broken XML 
+  docs.
+
+## What This Is (probably) Not
+
+* An HTML Parser - That's a fine goal, but this isn't it.  It's just
+  XML.
+* A DOM Builder - You can use it to build an object model out of XML,
+  but it doesn't do that out of the box.
+* XSLT - No DOM = no querying.
+* 100% Compliant with (some other SAX implementation) - Most SAX
+  implementations are in Java and do a lot more than this does.
+* An XML Validator - It does a little validation when in strict mode, but
+  not much.
+* A Schema-Aware XSD Thing - Schemas are an exercise in fetishistic 
+  masochism.
+* A DTD-aware Thing - Fetching DTDs is a much bigger job.
+
+## Regarding `<!DOCTYPE`s and `<!ENTITY`s
+
+The parser will handle the basic XML entities in text nodes and attribute
+values: `&amp; &lt; &gt; &apos; &quot;`. It's possible to define additional
+entities in XML by putting them in the DTD. This parser doesn't do anything
+with that. If you want to listen to the `ondoctype` event, and then fetch
+the doctypes, and read the entities and add them to `parser.ENTITIES`, then
+be my guest.
+
+Unknown entities will fail in strict mode, and in loose mode, will pass
+through unmolested.
+
+## Usage
+
+    var sax = require("./lib/sax"),
+      strict = true, // set to false for html-mode
+      parser = sax.parser(strict);
+
+    parser.onerror = function (e) {
+      // an error happened.
+    };
+    parser.ontext = function (t) {
+      // got some text.  t is the string of text.
+    };
+    parser.onopentag = function (node) {
+      // opened a tag.  node has "name" and "attributes"
+    };
+    parser.onattribute = function (attr) {
+      // an attribute.  attr has "name" and "value"
+    };
+    parser.onend = function () {
+      // parser stream is done, and ready to have more stuff written to it.
+    };
+
+    parser.write('<xml>Hello, <who name="world">world</who>!</xml>').close();
+
+    // stream usage
+    // takes the same options as the parser
+    var saxStream = require("sax").createStream(strict, options)
+    saxStream.on("error", function (e) {
+      // unhandled errors will throw, since this is a proper node
+      // event emitter.
+      console.error("error!", e)
+      // clear the error
+      this._parser.error = null
+      this._parser.resume()
+    })
+    saxStream.on("opentag", function (node) {
+      // same object as above
+    })
+    // pipe is supported, and it's readable/writable
+    // same chunks coming in also go out.
+    fs.createReadStream("file.xml")
+      .pipe(saxStream)
+      .pipe(fs.createWriteStream("file-copy.xml"))
+
+
+
+## Arguments
+
+Pass the following arguments to the parser function.  All are optional.
+
+`strict` - Boolean. Whether or not to be a jerk. Default: `false`.
+
+`opt` - Object bag of settings regarding string formatting.  All default to `false`.
+
+Settings supported:
+
+* `trim` - Boolean. Whether or not to trim text and comment nodes.
+* `normalize` - Boolean. If true, then turn any whitespace into a single
+  space.
+* `lowercase` - Boolean. If true, then lowercase tag names and attribute names
+  in loose mode, rather than uppercasing them.
+* `xmlns` - Boolean. If true, then namespaces are supported.
+* `position` - Boolean. If false, then don't track line/col/position.
+
+## Methods
+
+`write` - Write bytes onto the stream. You don't have to do this all at
+once. You can keep writing as much as you want.
+
+`close` - Close the stream. Once closed, no more data may be written until
+it is done processing the buffer, which is signaled by the `end` event.
+
+`resume` - To gracefully handle errors, assign a listener to the `error`
+event. Then, when the error is taken care of, you can call `resume` to
+continue parsing. Otherwise, the parser will not continue while in an error
+state.
+
+## Members
+
+At all times, the parser object will have the following members:
+
+`line`, `column`, `position` - Indications of the position in the XML
+document where the parser currently is looking.
+
+`startTagPosition` - Indicates the position where the current tag starts.
+
+`closed` - Boolean indicating whether or not the parser can be written to.
+If it's `true`, then wait for the `ready` event to write again.
+
+`strict` - Boolean indicating whether or not the parser is a jerk.
+
+`opt` - Any options passed into the constructor.
+
+`tag` - The current tag being dealt with.
+
+And a bunch of other stuff that you probably shouldn't touch.
+
+## Events
+
+All events emit with a single argument. To listen to an event, assign a
+function to `on<eventname>`. Functions get executed in the this-context of
+the parser object. The list of supported events are also in the exported
+`EVENTS` array.
+
+When using the stream interface, assign handlers using the EventEmitter
+`on` function in the normal fashion.
+
+`error` - Indication that something bad happened. The error will be hanging
+out on `parser.error`, and must be deleted before parsing can continue. By
+listening to this event, you can keep an eye on that kind of stuff. Note:
+this happens *much* more in strict mode. Argument: instance of `Error`.
+
+`text` - Text node. Argument: string of text.
+
+`doctype` - The `<!DOCTYPE` declaration. Argument: doctype string.
+
+`processinginstruction` - Stuff like `<?xml foo="blerg" ?>`. Argument:
+object with `name` and `body` members. Attributes are not parsed, as
+processing instructions have implementation dependent semantics.
+
+`sgmldeclaration` - Random SGML declarations. Stuff like `<!ENTITY p>`
+would trigger this kind of event. This is a weird thing to support, so it
+might go away at some point. SAX isn't intended to be used to parse SGML,
+after all.
+
+`opentag` - An opening tag. Argument: object with `name` and `attributes`.
+In non-strict mode, tag names are uppercased, unless the `lowercase`
+option is set.  If the `xmlns` option is set, then it will contain
+namespace binding information on the `ns` member, and will have a
+`local`, `prefix`, and `uri` member.
+
+`closetag` - A closing tag. In loose mode, tags are auto-closed if their
+parent closes. In strict mode, well-formedness is enforced. Note that
+self-closing tags will have `closeTag` emitted immediately after `openTag`.
+Argument: tag name.
+
+`attribute` - An attribute node.  Argument: object with `name` and `value`.
+In non-strict mode, attribute names are uppercased, unless the `lowercase`
+option is set.  If the `xmlns` option is set, it will also contains namespace
+information.
+
+`comment` - A comment node.  Argument: the string of the comment.
+
+`opencdata` - The opening tag of a `<![CDATA[` block.
+
+`cdata` - The text of a `<![CDATA[` block. Since `<![CDATA[` blocks can get
+quite large, this event may fire multiple times for a single block, if it
+is broken up into multiple `write()`s. Argument: the string of random
+character data.
+
+`closecdata` - The closing tag (`]]>`) of a `<![CDATA[` block.
+
+`opennamespace` - If the `xmlns` option is set, then this event will
+signal the start of a new namespace binding.
+
+`closenamespace` - If the `xmlns` option is set, then this event will
+signal the end of a namespace binding.
+
+`end` - Indication that the closed stream has ended.
+
+`ready` - Indication that the stream has reset, and is ready to be written
+to.
+
+`noscript` - In non-strict mode, `<script>` tags trigger a `"script"`
+event, and their contents are not checked for special xml characters.
+If you pass `noscript: true`, then this behavior is suppressed.
+
+## Reporting Problems
+
+It's best to write a failing test if you find an issue.  I will always
+accept pull requests with failing tests if they demonstrate intended
+behavior, but it is very hard to figure out what issue you're describing
+without a test.  Writing a test is also the best way for you yourself
+to figure out if you really understand the issue you think you have with
+sax-js.
