::class xmlDocument public subclass xmlNode

CLASS: xmlDocument

The xmlDocument interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document
tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.

Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of a Document,
the xmlDocument interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The xmlNode objects
created have a ownerDocument attribute which associates them with the Document within whose context they were created.

Dynamically referenced by
xmlDOM.cls line 2164 "self~nameSpaces = .directory~new"

xmlDocument::attribute docType get

The Document Type Declaration (see DocumentType) associated with this document. For XML documents without a document
type declaration this returns .nil. For HTML documents, a DocumentType object may be returned, independently of
the presence or absence of document type declaration in the HTML document.

This provides direct access to the xmlDocumentType node, child node of this xmlDocument. This node can be set a
t document creation time and later changed through the use of child nodes manipulation methods, such as xmlNode's
insertBefore, or xmlNode's replaceChild.

Note, however, that while some implementations may instantiate different types of Document objects supporting
additional features than the "Core", such as "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML], based on the xmlDocumentType specified at
creation time, changing it afterwards is very unlikely to result in a change of the features supported.

xmlDocument::attribute documentElement get

This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the document element of
the document.

xmlDOM.cls line 2776 "self~doc~documentElement = elementNode"

xmlDocument::attribute documentURI

The location of the document or .nil if undefined or if the Document was created using xmlDOMImplementation
createDocument. No lexical checking is performed when setting this attribute; this could result in a
.nil value returned when using xmlNode baseURI.

Beware that when the Document supports the feature "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML], the href attribute of the HTML BASE
element takes precedence over this attribute when computing xmlNode baseURI.

Definition at line 2082 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute domConfig get

The configuration used when xmlDocument normalizeDocument is invoked.

Definition at line 2086 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute domConfig set


Definition at line 2089 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute implementation get

The xmlDOMImplementation object that handles this document. A DOM application may use objects from multiple
implementations.
The attributes setter method ("IMPLEMENTATION=") starts out as public and is set to private once set
turning the attribute into a read-only.

Definition at line 2096 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDOM.cls line 2636 "document~implementation = self"

xmlDocument::attribute implementation set
Definition at line 2097 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDOM.cls line 2636 "document~implementation = self"

xmlDocument::attribute inputEncoding get

An attribute specifying the encoding used for this document at the time of the parsing. This is null when it is not
known, such as when the xmlDocument was created in memory.

Definition at line 2102 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute inputEncoding set
Definition at line 2103 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute strictErrorChecking

An attribute specifying whether error checking is enforced or not. When set to .false, the implementation is
free to not test every possible error case normally defined on DOM operations, and not raise any xmlDOMException on
DOM operations or report errors while using xmlDocument normalizeDocument. In case of error, the behavior is
undefined. This attribute is true by default.

Definition at line 2110 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute xmlEncoding

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document. This is .nil when
unspecified or when it is not known, such as when the Document was created in memory.

Definition at line 2115 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute xmlStandalone

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This is .false
when unspecified.

Note: No verification is done on the value when setting this attribute. Applications should use xmlDocument
normalizeDocument with the "validate" parameter to verify if the value matches the validity constraint for
standalone document declaration as defined in [XML 1.0].

Definition at line 2124 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::attribute xmlVersion

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document. If there is no
declaration and if this document supports the "XML" feature, the value is "1.0". If this document does not support the
"XML" feature, the value is always null. Changing this attribute will affect methods that check for invalid characters
in XML names. Application should invoke xmlDocument normalizeDocument in order to check for invalid characters
in the Nodes that are already part of this Document.

DOM applications may use the xmlDOMImplementation hasFeature(feature, version) method with parameter values
"XMLVersion" and "1.0" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports [XML 1.0]. DOM applications may use
the same method with parameter values "XMLVersion" and "1.1" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports
[XML 1.1]. In both cases, in order to support XML, an implementation must also support the "XML" feature defined in
this specification. Document objects supporting a version of the "XMLVersion" feature must not raise a
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR exception for the same version number when using xmlDocument xmlVersion.


Raised if the version is set to a value that is not supported by this Document or if this document does not support
the "XML" feature.

xmlDocument::method init

xmlDocument instance constructor


Definition at line 2148 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::method adoptNode

Attempts to adopt a node from another document to this document. If supported, it changes the ownerDocument of the
source node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any. If the source node has a parent
it is first removed from the child list of its parent. This effectively allows moving a subtree from one document to
another (unlike importNode which create a copy of the source node instead of moving it). When it fails,
applications should use xmlDocument importNode instead.

Note that if the adopted node is already part of this document (i.e. the source and target document are the same),
this method still has the effect of removing the source node from the child list of its parent, if any. The following
list describes the specifics for each type of node.


Note: Since it does not create new nodes unlike the xmlDocument importNode method, this method does not raise
an INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR exception, and applications should use the xmlDocument normalizeDocument method to
check if an imported name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use.

Parameters
source - The xmlNode to move into this document.
Returns
node - The adopted node, or .nil if this operation fails, such as when the source node comes from a different implementation.

Definition at line 2201 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::method createAttribute

Creates an xmlAttr of the given name. Note that the xmlAttr instance can then be set on an xmlElement using the
setAttributeNode method.
The new xmlAttr has the nodeName attribute set to name, and localName, prefix, and
namespaceURI set to null. The value of the attribute is the empty string.

Raised if the specified name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in the xmlDocument
xmlVersion attribute.
To create an attribute with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the createAttributeNS method.

Parameters
name - The name of the attribute.
value=.nil - The (optional) value of the attribute
Returns
attr - A new Attr object
Raises
user domException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR

attributes can be specified directly on the returned object. The new xmlElement object will have the nodeName
attribute set to tagName, and localName, prefix, and namespaceURI set to null.

NOT YET!!!!!
In addition, if there are known attributes with default values, xmlAttr nodes representing them are automatically
created and attached to the element.

To create an element with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the createElementNS method.

Parameters
tagName - The name(case-sensitive for XML) of the element type to instantiate.
Returns
element - A new xmlElement as described above.

xmlDocument::method createElementNS

Creates an element of the given qualified name and namespace URI.




Per [XML Namespaces], applications must use the value null as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they wish to
have no namespace.

Parameters
namespaceURI=.nil - The optional namespace URI of the element to create.

Returns
attr - A new xmlAttr object with the following attributes:
Raises
user domException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR

xmlDocument::method createEntityReference

Creates a xmlEntityReference object. In addition, if the referenced entity is known, the child list of the
xmlEntityReference node is made the same as that of the corresponding xmlEntity node.

Note: If any descendant of the Entity node has an unbound namespace prefix, the corresponding descendant of the
created EntityReference node is also unbound; (its namespaceURI is null). The DOM Level 2 and 3 do not support any
mechanism to resolve namespace prefixes in this case.

Parameters
name - The name of the reference

Definition at line 2374 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::method createProcessingInstruction

Creates a xmlProcessingInstruction node given the specified target and data strings.

Parameters
target - The target part of the processing instruction
data - The data for the node

xmlDocument::method getElementById

Returns the xmlElement that has an ID attribute with the given value. If no such element exists, this returns null. If
more than one element has an ID attribute with that value, what is returned is undefined.

NOTE - Attributes with the name "ID" or "id" are not of type ID unless so defined.


The DOM implementation is expected to use the attribute Attr~isId to determine if an attribute is of type ID.

Parameters
elementId - The unique id value for an element.
Returns
element - The matching element or .nil if there is none.

For XML, the tagname parameter is case-sensitive, otherwise it depends on the case-sensitivity of the markup language
in use.

Parameters
tagName - The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*" matches all tags.
Returns
nodeList - A new xmlNodeList object containing all the matched xmlElements.

xmlDocument::method selectElements private

Private method to walk the nodes tree and retrieve nodes by tagName

Parameters
nodes - The sibling nodes to walk thru.
tag - The name of the tag to select on.
nodelist - The xmlNodeList to append selected nodes to.

xmlDocument::method getElementsByTagNameNS

Returns a xmlNodeList of all the xmlElements with a given local name and namespace URI in document order.

Parameters
namespaceURI=.nil - The namespace URI of the elements to match on. The special value "*" matches all namespaces.
localName - The local name of the elements to match on. The special value "*" matches all local names.
Returns
nodeList - A new xmlNodeList containing all the matched xmlElements.

Definition at line 2457 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::method importNode

Imports a node from another document to this document, without altering or removing the source node from the original
document; this method creates a new copy of the source node. The returned node has no parent; (parentNode is null).

For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the importing document, with attribute values identical
to the source node's nodeName and nodeType, plus the attributes related to namespaces (prefix, localName, and
namespaceURI). As in the cloneNode operation, the source node is not altered. User data associated to the imported
node is not carried over. However, if any UserDataHandlers has been specified along with the associated data these
handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.

Additional information is copied as appropriate to the nodeType, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if a
fragment of XML or HTML source was copied from one document to another, recognizing that the two documents may have
different DTDs in the XML case.

The following list describes the specifics for each type of node.


Parameters
importNode - The node to import
deep=.false - optional boolean to indicate a deep copy
Returns
node - the imported node that belongs to this xmlDocument now.
Raises
user domException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR

Definition at line 2508 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlDocument::method normalizeDocument

This method acts as if the document was going through a save and load cycle, putting the document in a "normal" form.
As a consequence, this method updates the replacement tree of EntityReference nodes and normalizes Text nodes, as
defined in the method xmlNode normalize.

Otherwise, the actual result depends on the features being set on the Document.domConfig object and governing what
operations actually take place. Noticeably this method could also make the document namespace well-formed according to
the algorithm described in Namespace Normalization, check the character normalization, remove the CDATASection nodes,
etc. See DOMConfiguration for details.

Mutation events, when supported, are generated to reflect the changes occurring on the document.

If errors occur during the invocation of this method, such as an attempt to update a read-only node or a Node.nodeName
contains an invalid character according to the XML version in use, errors or warnings (DOMError.SEVERITY_ERROR or
DOMError.SEVERITY_WARNING) will be reported using the DOMErrorHandler object associated with the "error-handler"
parameter. Note this method might also report fatal errors (DOMError.SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR) if an implementation cannot
recover from an error.

xmlDocument::method renameNode

Rename an existing node of type ELEMENT_NODE or ATTRIBUTE_NODE.

When possible this simply changes the name of the given node, otherwise this creates a new node with the specified
name and replaces the existing node with the new node as described below.

If simply changing the name of the given node is not possible, the following operations are performed: a new node is
created, any registered event listener is registered on the new node, any user data attached to the old node is
removed from that node, the old node is removed from its parent if it has one, the children are moved to the new node,
if the renamed node is an Element its attributes are moved to the new node, the new node is inserted at the position
the old node used to have in its parent's child nodes list if it has one, the user data that was attached to the old
node is attached to the new node.

When the node being renamed is an Element only the specified attributes are moved, default attributes originated from
the DTD are updated according to the new element name. In addition, the implementation may update default attributes
from other schemas. Applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to guarantee these attributes are up-to-date.

When the node being renamed is an Attr that is attached to an Element, the node is first removed from the Element
attributes map. Then, once renamed, either by modifying the existing node or creating a new one as described above, it
is put back.
