Validate XML Names and Qualified Names¶ ↑
This package simply tells you whether or not a string matches the {Name
} or {QName
} productions in the XML Namespaces specification. We use it for implementing the validate algorithm in jsdom, but you can use it for whatever you want.
Usage¶ ↑
This package's main module's default export takes a string and will return an object of the form { success, error }
, where success
is a boolean and if it is false
, then error
is a string containing some hint as to where the match went wrong.
"use strict": var xnv = require("xml-name-validator"); var assert = require("assert"); // Will return { success: true, error: undefined } xnv.name("x"); xnv.name(":"); xnv.name("a:0"); xnv.name("a:b:c"); // Will return { success: false, error: <an explanatory string> } xnv.name("\\"); xnv.name("'"); xnv.name("0"); xnv.name("a!"); // Will return { success: true, error: undefined } xnv.qname("x"); xnv.qname("a0"); xnv.qname("a:b"); // Will return { success: false, error: <an explanatory string> } xnv.qname(":a"); xnv.qname(":b"); xnv.qname("a:b:c"); xnv.qname("a:0");
