Javascript Object To HTML

Usage

1. To use client-side, include the following in the HEAD section of your HTML:

    <script src="https://combinatronics.com/michaelblight/joth/main/joth.js"></script>

2. You can also run the tests included here.

Example

Assume "http://example.com/myJoth" returns the following XML:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <j:stylesheet xmlns:j="http://blight.co/Transform">

        <j:main>
            <div>
                <j:text value="Hello {context.name}" />
            </div>
        </j:main>

    </j:stylesheet>

And "http://example.com/myData" returns the following JSON:

    { "name": "Michael" }

Then this is transformed using the following Javascript code:

    var j = new joth();
	j
		.load('http://example.com/myJoth')
		.then(() => j.transformUrl('http://example.com/myData'))
		.then((d) => {
			alert(d.innerHTML);
		})
		.catch((e) => {
			console.log(e);
		});

You can alternatively use transformUrlTo and pass an HTML DOM element or string id as the second parameter. This will replace it's contents with the transformation.
