a common interface for Node and browser native XML APIs

#xmlapi
Release coming early July.

<!---
An intuitive xml manipulation interface with implementations to run both Node and the browser (Nashorn support planned).
An alternative to coding with browser’s DOM API (which is ugly) and employing [xmldom](https://github.com/jindw/xmldom) for node (which is slow).

## Usage
### ES6

```js

```

### typescript
First, you `npm install xmlapi`. Then code:
```ts
import { AbstractElement } from 'xmlapi';


```

## Contribution
This project is for the interface itself, refer to [xmlapi-libxmljs](https://github.com/msklvsk/xmlapi-libxmljs) or [xmlapi-webapi](https://github.com/msklvsk/xmlapi-web) repos for specific implementation.
Questions, wishes, ideas, bugs and pull requests are always [welcomed](https://github.com/msklvsk/xmlapi/issues/new).

### Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/msklvsk/xmlapi.git
cd xmlapi
npm install
npm run build:w
```

### API principles
- We expose a getter/setter rather than a method if it's constant time and complies with [C# guidlines](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229054(v=vs.100%29.aspx). We assume WebAPI property access is constant time if corresponding libxml method is.
