[xmljs-users] Using XMLJS instead of DOM embedded into browsers with jQuery

[Fedor T. <fed...@gm...>]

Hi all!

I'm trying to get some functionality of jQuery working without access
to window and DOM implementation embedded into browsers (Chromium for
instance). I used jquery-nodom
(https://github.com/kpozin/jquery-nodom) as a starting point and added
attributes, selector and traversing. XMLJS (W3C version) replaces
embedded DOM. To do that I've added the following lines before loading
jQuery:


var global = this;
global.window = global.window || global;
global.window.DOMParser = function() {
	var self = this;
	var domImpl = new DOMImplementation();
	
	var parseFromString = function(str, type) {
		return domImpl.loadXML(str);
	};
	self.parseFromString = parseFromString;
};
global.window.document = global.window.document || new
DOMDocument(global.window.DOMParser);
global.window.document.documentElement =
global.window.document.createElement('HTML');



Surprisingly some features started to work immediately. But! jQuery
assumes that it's possible to access nodes in the NodeList simply by
index (myNodeList[i], where 0 <= i < myNodeList.length). Unfortunately
this is not working with DOMNodeList implementation from XMLJS. In
some places jQuery (or better to say Sizzle) uses makeArray function
to convert NodeList into array. So I modified it to be able to convert
DOMNodeList from XMLJS into Array. By this I got more functionality
working, but not all, since makeArray is called only from some places
(don't know why).

Did anyone try to solve this? What would be the best approach? I did
not modify XMLJS, so I don't know if here is the best place for my
question, but anyway... any help is very welcome.
