[![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/raml-org/raml-js-parser.png)](https://david-dm.org/raml-org/raml-js-parser)

This is a JavaScript parser for [RAML](http://raml.org) version 0.8 as defined in the [0.8 RAML specification](https://github.com/raml-org/raml-spec/blob/master/raml-0.8.md)

A newer [version](https://github.com/raml-org/raml-js-parser-2) is now available as a beta. It supports RAML 1.0 as well as RAML 0.8.

## Usage for NodeJS

### Load

Loading a RAML file is as easy as follows:

```javascript
var raml = require('raml-parser');

raml.loadFile('myAPI.raml').then( function(data) {
console.log(data);
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
```

You can alternatively load from a string containing the api definition:

```javascript
var raml = require('raml-parser');

var definition = [
'#%RAML 0.8',
'---',
'title: MyApi',
'baseUri: http://myapi.com',
'/Root:'
].join('\n');

raml.load(definition).then( function(data) {
console.log(data);
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
```

The shape of the returned object is (unofficially) documented in this [Typescript interface](https://github.com/aldonline/raml-typescript).

### Abstract Syntax Tree

Generating an AST from a RAML file is as easy as follows:

```javascript
var raml = require('raml-parser');

var myAPI;
raml.composeFile('myAPI.raml').then( function(rootNode) {
console.log('Root Node: ' + rootNode)
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
```

you can also alternatively generate an AST from a string containing the api definition:

```javascript
var raml = require('raml-parser');

var definition = [
'#%RAML 0.8',
'---',
'title: MyApi',
'baseUri: http://myapi.com',
'/Root:'
].join('\n');

raml.compose(definition).then( function(rootNode) {
console.log('Root Node: ' + rootNode)
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
```

## Usage for In-Browser

Using the RAML parser from inside the browser requires the user to actually
include the RAML javascript file in a script tag as follows:

```html

```

from there on the usage is pretty much the same as NodeJS, the script
defines a *RAML.Parser* object globally which can be used as follows:

```javascript
RAML.Parser.loadFile('http://localhost:9001/myAPI.raml').then( function(data) {
console.log(data)
}, function(error) {
console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});
```

Notice that the in-browser version can fetch remote API definitions via XHR.
