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("child Nodes").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 :)
