Detailed Description

The DomNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.

It represents a single node in the document tree. While all objects implementing the DomNode interface expose methods for dealing with children, not all objects implementing the DomNode interface may have children. For example, DomText nodes may not have children, and adding children to such nodes results in a DomException being raised.

The attributes getNodeName(), getNodeValue() and getAttributes() are included as a mechanism to get at node information without casting down to the specific derived interface. In cases where there is no obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific getNodeType() (e.g., getNodeValue() for an DomElement or getAttributes() for a DomComment ), this returns null. Note that the specialized interfaces may contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant information.

The values of getNodeName(), getNodeValue(), and getAttributes() vary according to the node type as follows:

InterfacegetNodeName()getNodeValue()getAttributes()
DOMAttrname of attributevalue of attributenull
DOMCDATASection"#cdata-section"content of the CDATA Sectionnull

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum xmldom::DomNode::NodeType

An enum indicating which type of node this is.

Note:
Numeric codes up to 200 are reserved to W3C for possible future use.
Enumerator:

enum xmldom::DomNode::DocumentPosition

A bitmask indicating the relative document position of a node with respect to another node.

If the two nodes being compared are the same node, then no flags are set on the return. Otherwise, the order of two nodes is determined by looking for common containers -- containers which contain both. A node directly contains any child nodes. A node also directly contains any other nodes attached to it such as attributes contained in an element or entities and notations contained in a document type. Nodes contained in contained nodes are also contained, but less-directly as the number of intervening containers increases.

If there is no common container node, then the order is based upon order between the root container of each node that is in no container. In this case, the result is disconnected and implementation-specific. This result is stable as long as these outer-most containing nodes remain in memory and are not inserted into some other containing node. This would be the case when the nodes belong to different documents or fragments, and cloning the document or inserting a fragment might change the order.

If one of the nodes being compared contains the other node, then the container precedes the contained node, and reversely the contained node follows the container. For example, when comparing an element against its own attribute or child, the element node precedes its attribute node and its child node, which both follow it.

If neither of the previous cases apply, then there exists a most-direct container common to both nodes being compared. In this case, the order is determined based upon the two determining nodes directly contained in this most-direct common container that either are or contain the corresponding nodes being compared.

If these two determining nodes are both child nodes, then the natural DOM order of these determining nodes within the containing node is returned as the order of the corresponding nodes. This would be the case, for example, when comparing two child elements of the same element.

If one of the two determining nodes is a child node and the other is not, then the corresponding node of the child node follows the corresponding node of the non-child node. This would be the case, for example, when comparing an attribute of an element with a child element of the same element.

If neither of the two determining node is a child node and one determining node has a greater value of getNodeType() than the other, then the corresponding node precedes the other. This would be the case, for example, when comparing an entity of a document type against a notation of the same document type.

If neither of the two determining node is a child node and getNodeType() is the same for both determining nodes, then an implementation-dependent order between the determining nodes is returned. This order is stable as long as no nodes of the same getNodeType() are inserted into or removed from the direct container. This would be the case, for example, when comparing two attributes of the same element, and inserting or removing additional attributes might change the order between existing attributes.

Enumerator:
DocumentPositionDisconnected  The two nodes are disconnected.

Order between disconnected nodes is always implementation-specific.

DocumentPositionPreceding  The second node precedes the reference node.
DocumentPositionFollowing  The node follows the reference node.
DocumentPositionContains  The node contains the reference node.

A node which contains is always preceding, too.

DocumentPositionContainedBy  The node is contained by the reference node.

A node which is contained is always following, too.

DocumentPositionImplementationSpecific  The determination of preceding versus following is implementation-specific.

Member Function Documentation

const DomNode & xmldom::DomNode::operator= ( const DomNode assign  ) 

assignment

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getNodeName (  )  const

Get the name of this node, depending on its type.

See the table above.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getNodeValue (  )  const

Get the value of this node, depending on its type.

See the table above. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.

DomNode::NodeType xmldom::DomNode::getNodeType (  )  const

A code representing the type of the underlying object, as defined above.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::getParentNode (  )  const

The parent of this node.

All nodes, except DomAttribute, DomDocument, DomDocumentFragment, DomEntity, and DomNotation may have a parent. However, if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, this is null.

DomNodeList xmldom::DomNode::getChildNodes (  )  const

A DomNodeList that contains all children of this node.

If there are no children, this is a DomNodeList containing no nodes.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::getFirstChild (  )  const

The first child of this node.

If there is no such node, this returns null.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::getLastChild (  )  const

The last child of this node.

If there is no such node, this returns null.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::getPreviousSibling (  )  const

The node immediately preceding this node.

If there is no such node, this returns null.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::getNextSibling (  )  const

The node immediately following this node.

If there is no such node, this returns null.

DomNamedNodeMap xmldom::DomNode::getAttributes (  )  const

A DomNamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is an DomElement) or null otherwise.

DomDocument xmldom::DomNode::getOwnerDocument (  )  const

The DomDocument object associated with this node.

This is also the DomDocument object used to create new nodes. When this node is a DomDocument or a DomDocumentType which is not used with any DomDocument yet, this is null.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::cloneNode ( bool  deep  )  const

Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes.

The duplicate node has no parent (getParentNode() is null) and no user data. User data associated to the imported node is not carried over. However, if any DomUserDataHandlers has been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.

Cloning an DomElement copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any children it contains unless it is a deep clone. This includes text contained in an the Element since the text is contained in a child DomText node.

Cloning an DomAttribute directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an DomElement cloning operation, returns a specified attribute (specified is true). Cloning an DomAttribute always clones its children, since they represent its value, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not.

Cloning an DomEntityReference automatically constructs its subtree if a corresponding DomEntity is available, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not.

Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.

Note that cloning an immutable subtree results in a mutable copy, but the children of an DomEntityReference clone are readonly. In addition, clones of unspecified DomAttributes nodes are specified. And, cloning DomDocument, DomDocumentType, DomEntity, and DomNotation nodes is implementation dependent.

Parameters:
deep If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an DomElement).
Returns:
The duplicate node.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::insertBefore ( const DomNode newChild,
const DomNode referenceChild 
)

Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node referenceChild.

If referenceChild is null, insert newChild at the end of the list of children.

If newChild is a DomDocumentFragment object, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, before referenceChild. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Note:
Inserting a node before itself is implementation dependent.
Parameters:
newChild The node to insert.
referenceChild The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.
Returns:
DomNode The node being inserted.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::replaceChild ( const DomNode newChild,
const DomNode oldChild 
)

Replaces the child node oldChild with newChild in the list of children, and returns the oldChild node.

If newChild is a DomDocumentFragment object, oldChild is replaced by all of the DomDocumentFragment children, which are inserted in the same order. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Note:
Replacing a node with itself is implementation dependent.
Parameters:
newChild The new node to put in the child list.
oldChild The node being replaced in the list.
Returns:
The node replaced.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::removeChild ( const DomNode oldChild  ) 

Removes the child node indicated by oldChild from the list of children, and returns it.

Parameters:
oldChild The node being removed.

DomNode xmldom::DomNode::appendChild ( const DomNode newChild  ) 

Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node.

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

Parameters:
newChild The node to add. If it is a DomDocumentFragment object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node.
Returns:
The node added.

bool xmldom::DomNode::hasChildNodes (  )  const

Returns whether this node has any children.

Returns:
Returns true if this node has any children, false otherwise.

void xmldom::DomNode::setNodeValue ( const DomString nodeValue  ) 

Set the value of this node, depending on its type.

See the table above. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.

void xmldom::DomNode::normalize (  ) 

Puts all DomText nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes.

This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer [XPointer] lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used. If the parameter "normalize-characters" of the DomConfiguration object attached to the DomNode::getOwnerDocument() is true, this method will also fully normalize the characters of the DomText nodes.

Note:
In cases where the document contains DomCDATASections, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between DomText nodes and DomCDATASection nodes.

bool xmldom::DomNode::isSupported ( const DomString feature,
const DomString version 
) const

Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node, as specified in DOM Features.

Parameters:
feature The name of the feature to test.
version This is the version number of the feature to test.
Returns:
Returns true if the specified feature is supported on this node, false otherwise.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getNamespaceURI (  )  const

Get the glossaryNamespaceURI of this node, or null if it is unspecified (see xmlNamespaces).

This is not a computed value that is the result of a namespace lookup based on an examination of the namespace declarations in scope. It is merely the namespace URI given at creation time.

For nodes of any type other than ElementNode and AttributeNode and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as DomDocument::createElement(), this is always null.

Note:
Per the Namespaces in XML Specification [XML Namespaces] an attribute does not inherit its namespace from the element it is attached to. If an attribute is not explicitly given a namespace, it simply has no namespace.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getPrefix (  )  const

Get the glossaryNamespacePrefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified.

When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect, including if the node is glossaryReadOnly.

Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the nodeName attribute, which holds the glossaryQualifiedName, as well as the tagName and name attributes of the DomElement and DomAttribute interfaces, when applicable.

Setting the prefix to null makes it unspecified, setting it to an empty string is implementation dependent.

Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the getNamespaceURI() and getLocalName() do not change.

For nodes of any type other than ElementNode and AttributeNode and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as DomDocument::createElement() from the DomDocument interface, this is always null.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getLocalName (  )  const

Returns the local part of the glossaryQualifiedName of this node.

For nodes of any type other than ElementNode and AttributeNode and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as DomDocument::createElement(), this is always null.

void xmldom::DomNode::setPrefix ( const DomString prefix  ) 

Set the glossaryNamespacePrefix of this node.

See getPrefix() for details.

bool xmldom::DomNode::hasAttributes (  )  const

Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.

Returns:
true if this node has any attributes, false otherwise.

bool xmldom::DomNode::isSameNode ( const DomNode other  )  const

Returns whether this node is the same node as the given one.

This method provides a way to determine whether two DomNode references returned by the implementation reference the same object. When two DomNode references are references to the same object, even if through a proxy, the references may be used completely interchangeably, such that all attributes have the same values and calling the same DOM method on either reference always has exactly the same effect.

Parameters:
other The node to test against.
Returns:
true if the nodes are the same, false otherwise.

bool xmldom::DomNode::isEqualNode ( const DomNode arg  )  const

Tests whether two nodes are equal.

This method tests for equality of nodes, not sameness (i.e., whether the two nodes are references to the same object) which can be tested with isSameNode().

All nodes that are the same will also be equal, though the reverse may not be true. Two nodes are equal if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:

For two DomDocumentType nodes to be equal, the following conditions must also be satisfied:

On the other hand, the following do not affect equality: the getOwnerDocument(), getBaseURI(), and getParentNode() attributes, the specified attribute for DomAttribute nodes, the DomAttribute::getSchemaTypeInfo() attribute for DomAttribute and DomElement nodes, the DomText::isElementContentWhitespace() attribute for DomText nodes, as well as any user data or event listeners registered on the nodes.

Note:
As a general rule, anything not mentioned in the description above is not significant in consideration of equality checking. Note that future versions of this specification may take into account more attributes and implementations conform to this specification are expected to be updated accordingly.
Parameters:
arg The node to compare equality with.
Returns:
true if the nodes are equal, false otherwise.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getBaseURI (  )  const

Get the absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn’t able to obtain an absolute URI.

This value is computed as described in Base URIs. However, when the DomDocument supports the feature "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML], the base URI is computed using first the value of the href attribute of the HTML BASE element if any, and the value of the DomDocument::getDocumentURI() attribute from the DomDocument interface otherwise.

DomString xmldom::DomNode::getTextContent (  )  const

This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants.

When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect. On setting, any possible children this node may have are removed and, if it the new string is not empty or null, replaced by a single DomText node containing the string this attribute is set to.

On getting, no serialization is performed, the returned string does not contain any markup. No whitespace normalization is performed and the returned string does not contain the white spaces in element content (see the attribute DomText::isElementContentWhitespace() ). Similarly, on setting, no parsing is performed either, the input string is taken as pure textual content. The string returned is made of the text content of this node depending on its type, as defined below:

Node typeContent
ElementNode, AttributeNode, EntityNode, EntityReferenceNode, DocumentFragmentNode concatenation of the textContent attribute value of every child node, excluding CommentNode and ProcessingInstructionNode nodes. This is the empty string if the node has no children.
TextNode, CDATASectionNode, CommentNode, ProcessingInstructionNodenodeValue
