| # Validate XML Names and Qualified Names | |
| This package simply tells you whether or not a string matches the [`Name`](http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Name) or [`QName`](http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#NT-QName) productions in the XML Namespaces specification. We use it for implementing the [validate](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#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. | |
| ```js | |
| "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"); | |
| ``` | |
