Changelog
4.0.0
The minimum required Node.js version is now v12.
The name() and qname() functions now return booleans, instead of { success, error } objects.
This module is now ~500x faster in microbenchmarks, due to using regular expressions instead of a generated parser.
Readme
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 exports two functions, name() and qname(). Both take a string and return a boolean indicating whether or not the string matches the relevant production.
"use strict":
const xnv = require("xml-name-validator");
// Will return true
xnv.name("x");
xnv.name(":");
xnv.name("a:0");
xnv.name("a:b:c");
// Will return false
xnv.name("\\");
xnv.name("'");
xnv.name("0");
xnv.name("a!");
// Will return true
xnv.qname("x");
xnv.qname("a0");
xnv.qname("a:b");
// Will return false
xnv.qname(":a");
xnv.qname(":b");
xnv.qname("a:b:c");
xnv.qname("a:0");
