Detailed Description

The DomCharacterData interface extends DomNode with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.

For clarity this set is defined here rather than on each object that uses these attributes and methods. No DOM objects correspond directly to DomCharacterData, though DomText and others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.

As explained in the DOM spec, text strings in the DOM are represented in UTF-16, i.e. as a sequence of 16-bit units. In the following, the term 16-bit units is used whenever necessary to indicate that indexing on DomCharacterData is done in 16-bit units.

Member Function Documentation

DomString xmldom::DomCharacterData::getData (  )  const

Returns the character data of the node that implements this interface.

The DOM implementation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored in a DomCharacterData node. However, implementation limits may mean that the entirety of a node's data may not fit into a single string. In such cases, the user may call substringData() to retrieve the data in appropriately sized pieces.

XmlSize xmldom::DomCharacterData::getLength (  )  const

Returns the number of characters that are available through data and the substringData() method below.

This may have the value zero, i.e., DomCharacterData nodes may be empty.

DomString xmldom::DomCharacterData::substringData ( XmlSize  offset,
XmlSize  count 
) const

Extracts a range of data from the node.

Parameters:
offset Start offset of substring to extract.
count The number of characters to extract.
Returns:
The specified substring. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, then all characters to the end of the data are returned.

void xmldom::DomCharacterData::appendData ( const DomString arg  ) 

Append the string to the end of the character data of the node.

Upon success, data provides access to the concatenation of data and the string specified.

Parameters:
arg The string to append.

void xmldom::DomCharacterData::insertData ( XmlSize  offset,
const DomString arg 
)

Insert a string at the specified character offset.

Parameters:
offset The character offset at which to insert.
arg The string to insert.

void xmldom::DomCharacterData::deleteData ( XmlSize  offset,
XmlSize  count 
)

Remove a range of characters from the node.

Upon success, data and length reflect the change.

Parameters:
offset The offset from which to remove characters.
count The number of characters to delete. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all characters from offset to the end of the data are deleted.

void xmldom::DomCharacterData::replaceData ( XmlSize  offset,
XmlSize  count,
const DomString arg 
)

Replace the characters starting at the specified character offset with the specified string.

Parameters:
offset The offset from which to start replacing.
count The number of characters to replace. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length, then all characters to the end of the data are replaced (i.e., the effect is the same as a remove method call with the same range, followed by an append method invocation).
arg The string with which the range must be replaced.

void xmldom::DomCharacterData::setData ( const DomString data  ) 

Sets the character data of the node that implements this interface.

Parameters:
data The string to set.
