This project generates Haxe externs based on WebIDL files. The WebIDL files and parser are owned by Mozilla.

You should have the Haxe repository in a directory named "haxe" next to this repo.

Run bin/generate to update the js.html externs on the Haxe repo. Run bin/validate to make sure the output compiles.

To update to Mozilla's latest APIs, run bin/update-mozilla and run generate again. You may also need to grab the latest WebIDL.py from https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/bindings/parser/WebIDL.py

To add a new API by hand, add it in a new .webidl file under the webidl/ directory.

Any hand-written Haxe files that should be merged with the final output should go in the haxe/ directory.

The following types from js.html have been removed, along with an explanation. Most of the changes are due to spec advances, and removal of Chrome-only APIs.
