Does anyone know where I can find the documentation of beyondJS
library?
I can't find the documentation from the homepage. Its js files don't
have comments.
Not that I can answer, but if the original author doesn't provide
documentation, it doesn't bode well for the library itself.
There appears to be some example .html-files in the zip archive.
I have no idea what they show (see below)
From the author's own description:
---
We try to support IE4+ and Mozilla. But we've not yet tested very
much, there might even be some completely untested code in there.
---
Sounds like something to avoid for serious use.
First impression: The little example on the front page (should be a
"*" that follows the cursor), and the example pages in the zip archive
too, doesn't work in Opera.
On top of that, the library ecourages you to write code like
beyondXML.invoke("documentElement").andThen("childNodes").andThen(beyondXML.list)(d).foreach(display);
which is pretty much unreadable to everybody else. If they aim for
a more natural language-like syntax, I'd recommend Perl, not Javascript.
Trying to reinvent the syntax of a language in the language itself rarely
make programs more maintainable
