 RUNTIME DEPENDENCIES
 ====================
 
-(required) [sax-js 1.2.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sax)
+imscJS requires an XML parser. By default it uses the browser's native [`DOMParser`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser), so no additional library is needed in a browser environment. In environments where `DOMParser` is not available, e.g. Node.js, the caller must provide `fromXML()` with a parser that implements the contract defined in [src/main/js/parser.js](src/main/js/parser.js), e.g. [sax-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sax).
 
 Rendering to HTML5 requires a browser environment, but parsing an IMSC document and transforming it into ISDs does not.

 imscJS renders an IMSC document in three distinct steps:
 
-* `fromXML(xmlstring, errorHandler, metadataHandler)` parses the document and returns a TT object. The latter contains opaque representation of the document and exposes the method `getMediaTimeEvents()` that returns a list of time offsets (in seconds) of the ISD, i.e. the points in time where the visual representation of the document change.
+* `fromXML(xmlstring, errorHandler, metadataHandler, parser)` parses the document and returns a TT object. The latter contains opaque representation of the document and exposes the method `getMediaTimeEvents()` that returns a list of time offsets (in seconds) of the ISD, i.e. the points in time where the visual representation of the document change. The optional `parser` argument allows the caller to provide an alternative XML parser, e.g. in environments where the browser's native `DOMParser` is not available.
 
 * `generateISD(tt, offset, errorHandler)` creates a canonical representation of the document (provided as a TT object generated by `fromXML()`) at a point in time (`offset` parameter). This point in time does not have to be one of the values returned by `getMediaTimeEvents()`. For example, given an ISOBMFF sample covering the interval `[a, b[`, `generateISD(tt, offset, errorHandler)` would be called first with `offset = a`, then in turn with offset set to each value of `getMediaTimeEvents()` that fall in the interval `]a, b[`.
