How to write a module that works with Node.js, RequireJS as well as without them

Question

I am working on a JavaScript library for JSON/XML processing. My library works in browser as well as Node.js (with xmldom and xmlhttprequest modules).<

Here is a template I'm currently using, it's both AMD and node compatible though not directly loadable stand-alone in the browser...

The main advantage to this approach is that the domain-specific code does not need to care about what imported it, for the general case.

/**********************************************************************
* 
*
*
**********************************************************************/
((typeof define)[0]=='u'?function(f){module.exports=f(require)}:define)(
function(require){ var module={} // makes module AMD/node compatible...
/*********************************************************************/




/*********************************************************************/




/**********************************************************************
* vim:set ts=4 sw=4 :                               */ return module })
