defaultBy default, a maximum of 10
listeners can be registered for any single
event. This limit can be changed for individual EventEmitter
instances
using the emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
method. To change the default
for allEventEmitter
instances, the events.defaultMaxListeners
property
can be used. If this value is not a positive number, a RangeError
is thrown.
Take caution when setting the events.defaultMaxListeners
because the
change affects all EventEmitter
instances, including those created before
the change is made. However, calling emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
still has
precedence over events.defaultMaxListeners
.
This is not a hard limit. The EventEmitter
instance will allow
more listeners to be added but will output a trace warning to stderr indicating
that a "possible EventEmitter memory leak" has been detected. For any single
EventEmitter
, the emitter.getMaxListeners()
and emitter.setMaxListeners()
methods can be used to
temporarily avoid this warning:
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const emitter = new EventEmitter();
emitter.setMaxListeners(emitter.getMaxListeners() + 1);
emitter.once('event', () => {
// do stuff
emitter.setMaxListeners(Math.max(emitter.getMaxListeners() - 1, 0));
});
The --trace-warnings
command-line flag can be used to display the
stack trace for such warnings.
The emitted warning can be inspected with process.on('warning')
and will
have the additional emitter
, type
, and count
properties, referring to
the event emitter instance, the event's name and the number of attached
listeners, respectively.
Its name
property is set to 'MaxListenersExceededWarning'

errorThis symbol shall be used to install a listener for only monitoring 'error'
events. Listeners installed using this symbol are called before the regular 'error'
listeners are called.
Installing a listener using this symbol does not change the behavior once an 'error'
event is emitted. Therefore, the process will still crash if no
regular 'error'
listener is installed.

Static
addListens once to the abort
event on the provided signal
.
Listening to the abort
event on abort signals is unsafe and may
lead to resource leaks since another third party with the signal can
call e.stopImmediatePropagation()
. Unfortunately Node.js cannot change
this since it would violate the web standard. Additionally, the original
API makes it easy to forget to remove listeners.
This API allows safely using AbortSignal
s in Node.js APIs by solving these
two issues by listening to the event such that stopImmediatePropagation
does
not prevent the listener from running.
Returns a disposable so that it may be unsubscribed from more easily.
import { addAbortListener } from 'node:events';
function example(signal) {
let disposable;
try {
signal.addEventListener('abort', (e) => e.stopImmediatePropagation());
disposable = addAbortListener(signal, (e) => {
// Do something when signal is aborted.
});
} finally {
disposable?.[Symbol.dispose]();
}
}
Disposable that removes the abort
listener.

XML_Creates an XML_Parser object that can parse an external general entity; context is a '\0'-terminated string specifying the parse context; encoding is a '\0'-terminated string giving the name of the externally specified encoding, or NULL if there is no externally specified encoding. The context string consists of a sequence of tokens separated by formfeeds (\f); a token consisting of a name specifies that the general entity of the name is open; a token of the form prefix=uri specifies the namespace for a particular prefix; a token of the form =uri specifies the default namespace. This can be called at any point after the first call to an ExternalEntityRefHandler so longer as the parser has not yet been freed. The new parser is completely independent and may safely be used in a separate thread. The handlers and userData are initialized from the parser argument. Returns NULL if out of memory. Otherwise returns a new XML_Parser object.

XML_These functions return information about the current parse location. They may be called from any callback called to report some parse event; in this case the location is the location of the first of the sequence of characters that generated the event. When called from callbacks generated by declarations in the document prologue, the location identified isn't as neatly defined, but will be within the relevant markup. When called outside of the callback functions, the position indicated will be just past the last parse event (regardless of whether there was an associated callback).
They may also be called after returning from a call to XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer. If the return value is XML_STATUS_ERROR then the location is the location of the character at which the error was detected; otherwise the location is the location of the last parse event, as described above.

User data
Static
XML_Parse some more of the document. The string s is a buffer containing part (or perhaps all) of the document. The number of bytes of s that are part of the document is indicated by len. This means that s doesn't have to be null terminated. It also means that if len is larger than the number of bytes in the block of memory that s points at, then a memory fault is likely. The isFinal parameter informs the parser that this is the last piece of the document. Frequently, the last piece is empty (i.e. len is zero.) If a parse error occurred, it returns XML_STATUS_ERROR. Otherwise it returns XML_STATUS_OK value.
ERROR=0, OK=1, SUSPENDED=2

XML_Construct a new parser. If encoding is non-null, it specifies a character encoding to use for the document. This overrides the document encoding declaration. There are four built-in encodings:
Optional
encoding: XML_EncodingParser pointer
Static
XML_Constructs a new parser that has namespace processing in effect. Namespace expanded element names and attribute names are returned as a concatenation of the namespace URI, sep, and the local part of the name. This means that you should pick a character for sep that can't be part of an URI. Since Expat does not check namespace URIs for conformance, the only safe choice for a namespace separator is a character that is illegal in XML. For instance, '\xFF' is not legal in UTF-8, and '\xFFFF' is not legal in UTF-16. There is a special case when sep is the null character '\0': the namespace URI and the local part will be concatenated without any separator - this is intended to support RDF processors. It is a programming error to use the null separator with namespace triplets.
Note: Expat does not validate namespace URIs (beyond encoding) against RFC 3986 today (and is not required to do so with regard to the XML 1.0 namespaces specification) but it may start doing that in future releases. Before that, an application using Expat must be ready to receive namespace URIs containing non-URI characters.

XML_Free memory used by the parser. Your application is responsible for freeing any memory associated with user data.
Static
XML_Prepare a parser object to be re-used. This is particularly valuable when memory allocation overhead is disproportionately high, such as when a large number of small documnents need to be parsed. All handlers are cleared from the parser, except for the unknownEncodingHandler. The parser's external state is re-initialized except for the values of ns and ns_triplets.
Undocumented
Static
XML_Set the base URI for including external entities.
1 on success, 0 on error
Static
XML_Controls parsing of parameter entities (including the external DTD subset). If parsing of parameter entities is enabled, then references to external parameter entities (including the external DTD subset) will be passed to the handler set with XML_SetExternalEntityRefHandler. The context passed will be 0. Unlike external general entities, external parameter entities can only be parsed synchronously. If the external parameter entity is to be parsed, it must be parsed during the call to the external entity ref handler: the complete sequence of XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate, XML_Parse/XML_ParseBuffer and XML_ParserFree calls must be made during this call. After XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate has been called to create the parser for the external parameter entity (context must be 0 for this call), it is illegal to make any calls on the old parser until XML_ParserFree has been called on the newly created parser. If the library has been compiled without support for parameter entity parsing (ie without XML_DTD being defined), then XML_SetParamEntityParsing will return 0 if parsing of parameter entities is requested; otherwise it will return non-zero. Note: If XML_SetParamEntityParsing is called after XML_Parse or XML_ParseBuffer, then it has no effect and will always return 0. Note: If parser == NULL, the function will do nothing and return 0.

XML_This function only has an effect when using a parser created with XML_ParserCreateNS, i.e. when namespace processing is in effect. The doNst flag sets whether or not prefixes are returned with names qualified with a namespace prefix. If this function is called with doNst non-zero, then afterwards namespace qualified names (that is qualified with a prefix as opposed to belonging to a default namespace) are returned as a triplet with the three parts separated by the namespace separator specified when the parser was created. The order of returned parts is URI, local name, and prefix.
If doNst is zero, then namespaces are reported in the default manner, URI then local_name separated by the namespace separator.

removeListener()
will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the
listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the
listener array for the specified eventName
, then removeListener()
must be
called multiple times to remove each instance.
Once an event is emitted, all listeners attached to it at the
time of emitting are called in order. This implies that any removeListener()
or removeAllListeners()
calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution
will not remove them fromemit()
in progress. Subsequent events behave as expected.
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}
const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();
const callbackA = () => {
console.log('A');
myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB);
};
const callbackB = () => {
console.log('B');
};
myEmitter.on('event', callbackA);
myEmitter.on('event', callbackB);
// callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called.
// Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
// A
// B
// callbackB is now removed.
// Internal listener array [callbackA]
myEmitter.emit('event');
// Prints:
// A
Because listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will
change the position indices of any listener registered after the listener
being removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called,
but it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by
the emitter.listeners()
method will need to be recreated.
When a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single
event (as in the example below), removeListener()
will remove the most
recently added instance. In the example the once('ping')
listener is removed:
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const ee = new EventEmitter();
function pong() {
console.log('pong');
}
