- * DOM HTML Level 2 (13 November 2000 Working Draft), and
- * DOM Level 2 Traversal (13 November 2000 Recommendation)
-
- 4DOM should work on all platforms supported by Python.
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- 4DOM is built and installed with PyXML's other libraries when you run
- setup.py. It cannot be installed separately.
-
-
- License/Copyright
- =================
-
- For now, 4DOM retains its license and copyright that it had when
- developed by Fourthought, Inc. <http://fourthought.com/>. See the

- Documentation
- =============
-
- Python's generic DOM API, as shared by both 4DOM and minidom, is
- documented at
-
- http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-xml.dom.html
-
- The DOM APIs that are implemented in 4DOM are specified at
-
- http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/
- http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/

-
- Development
- ===========
-
- 4DOM is open-source and is maintained by the PyXML development
- community. Most of 4DOM's original development was undertaken by
- Fourthought, Inc., from 1998-2000. 4DOM was incorporated into PyXML
- starting with the PyXML 0.6.0 release in September 2000, and was
- distributed in both PyXML and 4Suite for a time. It ceased being
- distributed in 4Suite starting with the PyXML 0.6.4 release in
- February 2001, at which time maintenance was handed over entirely to
- the PyXML team. Most development since then has concentrated on bug
- fixes and compatibility issues.
