xmldom-qsa
This is based on xmldom with some minor enhancements.
xmldom-qsa add querySelector, querySelectorAll and match method to Document and Element. And you can write some more methods to these elements by add prototype methods to Node.
xmldom is a javascript ponyfill to provide the following APIs that are present in modern browsers to other runtimes:
  • convert an XML string into a DOM tree
``` new DOMParser().parseFromString(xml, mimeType) => Document ```
  • create, access and modify a DOM tree
``` new DOMImplementation().createDocument(...) => Document ```
  • serialize a DOM tree back into an XML string
``` new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(node) => string ```
The target runtimes xmldom supports are currently Node >= v10 (ES5) and Rhino (not tested as part of CI).
When deciding how to fix bugs or implement features, xmldom tries to stay as close as possible to the various related specifications/standards. As indicated by the version starting with 0., this implementation is not feature complete and some implemented features differ from what the specifications describe. Issues and PRs for such differences are always welcome, even when they only provide a failing test case.
This project was forked from it's original source in 2019, more details about that transition can be found in the CHANGELOG.

Usage

Install:

npm install xmldom-qsa
Enhancements:
doc.documentElement.querySelector('.clazz');

var Node = require('xmldom-qsa/dom').Node;
Node.prototype.addAttr = function(x,y) { ... }
doc.documentElement.addAttr('x','y');

Example:

In NodeJS 
const { DOMParser } = require('xmldom-qsa')

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')
console.info(doc)

const nsAttr = doc.documentElement.getAttributeNS('./lite', 'x')
console.info(nsAttr)

Note: in Typescript ~and ES6~(see #316) you can use the import approach, as follows:
import { DOMParser } from 'xmldom-qsa'

API Reference

DOMParser:
```javascript
parseFromString(xmlsource,mimeType)
```
* **options extension** _by xmldom_ (not DOM standard!!)

```javascript
//added the options argument
new DOMParser(options)

//errorHandler is supported
new DOMParser({
	/**
	 * 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)
```

Specs

The implementation is based on several specifications:
Overview of related specifications and their relations

DOM Parsing and Serialization

From the W3C DOM Parsing and Serialization (WD 2016) xmldom provides an implementation for the interfaces:
  • DOMParser
  • XMLSerializer

Note that there are some known deviations between this implementation and the W3 specifications.
Note: The latest version of this spec has the status "Editors Draft", since it is under active development. One major change is that the definition of the DOMParser interface has been moved to the HTML spec

DOM

The original author claims that xmldom implements DOM Level 2 in a "fully compatible" way and some parts of DOM Level 3, but there are not enough tests to prove this. Both Specifications are now superseded by the DOM Level 4 aka Living standard wich has a much broader scope than xmldom.
xmldom implements the following interfaces (most constructors are currently not exposed):
  • Attr
  • CDATASection
  • CharacterData
  • Comment
  • Document
  • DocumentFragment
  • DocumentType
  • DOMException (constructor exposed)
  • DOMImplementation (constructor exposed)
  • Element
  • Entity
  • EntityReference
  • LiveNodeList
  • NamedNodeMap
  • Node (constructor exposed)
  • NodeList
  • Notation
  • ProcessingInstruction
  • Text

more details are available in the (incomplete) API Reference section.

HTML

xmldom does not have any goal of supporting the full spec, but it has some capability to parse, report and serialize things differently when "detecting HTML" (by checking the default namespace). There is an upcoming change to better align the implementation with the latest specs, related to .

SAX, XML, XMLNS

xmldom has an own SAX parser implementation to do the actual parsing, which implements some interfaces in alignment with the Java interfaces SAX defines:
  • XMLReader
  • DOMHandler

There is an idea/proposal to make it possible to replace it with something else in
