Description

The goal of this project is to complete the implementation of the DOM Level 3 LSParser. Though Xerces has a functional LSParser, there are a couple parts of the spec which still need to be implemented. This includes an asynchronous [1] version which returns from the parse method immediately and builds the DOM tree on another thread as well as parseWithContext [2] which allows a document fragment to be parsed and attached to an existing DOM.
