Inherits xmldom::DomNode.
Inheritance diagram for xmldom::DomEntityReference:
Note that character references and references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by the HTML or XML processor so that characters are represented by their Unicode equivalent rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the XML processor may completely expand references to entities while building the DomDocument
, instead of providing DomEntityReference
nodes. If it does provide such nodes, then for an DomEntityReference
node that represents a reference to a known entity an DomEntity
exists, and the subtree of the DomEntityReference
node is a copy of the DomEntity
node subtree. However, the latter may not be true when an entity contains an unbound namespace prefix. In such a case, because the namespace prefix resolution depends on where the entity reference is, the descendants of the EntityReference node may be bound to different namespace URIs. When an DomEntityReference
node represents a reference to an unknown entity, the node has no children and its replacement value, when used by DomAttribute.getValue()
for example, is empty.
As for DomEntity
nodes, DomEntityReference
nodes and all their descendants are readonly.
DomEntityReference
nodes may cause element content and attribute value normalization problems when, such as in XML 1.0 and XML Schema, the normalization is performed after entity reference are expanded.
