+
+## Supported Hooks
+
+We support the following parse hooks:
+
+* `openTag(elementName, attrGetter, decodeEntities, selfClosing, contextGetter)`
+* `closeTag(elementName, selfClosing, contextGetter)`
+* `error(err, contextGetter)`
+* `warn(warning, contextGetter)`
+* `text(value, decodeEntities)`
+* `cdata(value)`
+* `comment(value, decodeEntities)`
+* `attention(str, decodeEntities)`
+* `question(str)`
+
+In contrast to `error`, `warn` receives recoverable errors, such as malformed attributes.
+
+
+## Namespace Handling
+
+In namespace mode, the parser will adjust tag and attribute namespace prefixes before
+passing the elements name to `openTag` or `closeTag`. To do that, you need to
+configure default prefixes for wellknown namespaces:
+
+```javascript
+parser.ns({
+  'http://foo': 'foo',
+  'http://bar': 'bar'
 });
+```
 
-parser.parse('<blub xmlns="http://foo" xmlns:bar="http://bar" bar:aa="A" />');
+To skip the adjustment and still process namespace information:
+
+```javascript
+parser.ns();
 ```
 
 
+## Non-Features
+
+`/saxen/` lacks some features known in other XML parsers such as [sax-js](https://github.com/isaacs/sax-js):
+
+* no support for parsing loose documents, such as arbitrary HTML snippets
+* no support for text trimming
+* no automatic entity decoding
+* no automatic attribute parsing
+
+...and that is ok ❤.
