Detailed Description

The DOMDocument interface represents the entire 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 DOMDocument, the DOMDocument interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The DOMNode objects created have a ownerDocument attribute which associates them with the DOMDocument within whose context they were created.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DOMDocument::DOMDocument ( )

protected

virtual DOMDocument::~DOMDocument ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual DOMNode* DOMDocument::adoptNode ( DOMNode * source )

pure virtual

Changes the ownerDocument of a node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any.

If the node has a parent it is first removed from its parent child list. This effectively allows moving a subtree from one document to another. The following list describes the specifics for each type of node.

ATTRIBUTE_NODE: The ownerElement attribute is set to null and the specified flag is set to true on the adopted DOMAttr. The descendants of the source DOMAttr are recursively adopted.
DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE: The descendants of the source node are recursively adopted.
DOCUMENT_NODE: DOMDocument nodes cannot be adopted.
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE: DOMDocumentType nodes cannot be adopted.
ELEMENT_NODE: Specified attribute nodes of the source element are adopted, and the generated DOMAttr nodes. Default attributes are discarded, though if the document being adopted into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. The descendants of the source element are recursively adopted.
ENTITY_NODE: DOMEntity nodes cannot be adopted.
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE: Only the DOMEntityReference node itself is adopted, the descendants are discarded, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned.
NOTATION_NODE: DOMNotation nodes cannot be adopted.
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE: These nodes can all be adopted. No specifics.

Parameters

source The node to move into this document.

Returns: The adopted node, or null if this operation fails, such as when the source node comes from a different implementation.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the source node is of type DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_TYPE.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the source node is readonly.

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual DOMAttr* DOMDocument::createAttribute ( const XMLCh * name )

pure virtual

Creates an DOMAttr of the given name.

Note that the DOMAttr instance can then be set on an DOMElement using the setAttributeNode method.
To create an attribute with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the createAttributeNS method.

Parameters

name	The name of the attribute.

Returns: A new DOMAttr object with the nodeName attribute set to name, and localName, prefix, and namespaceURI set to null. The value of the attribute is the empty string.

Exceptions

DOMException INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name contains an illegal character.

Since: DOM Level 1

	)

pure virtual

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

Parameters

namespaceURI	The namespace URI of the attribute to create.

Returns

A new DOMAttr object with the following attributes:

`Attribute`	`Value`
`DOMNode.nodeName`	qualifiedName
`DOMNode.namespaceURI`	`namespaceURI`
`DOMNode.prefix`	prefix, extracted from `qualifiedName`, or `null` if there is no prefix
`DOMNode.localName`	local name, extracted from `qualifiedName`
`DOMAttr.name`	`qualifiedName`
`DOMNode.nodeValue`	the empty string

Exceptions

DOMException INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified qualified name contains an illegal character, per the XML 1.0 specification .
NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the qualifiedName is malformed per the Namespaces in XML specification, if the qualifiedName has a prefix and the namespaceURI is null, if the qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml" and the namespaceURI is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", or if the qualifiedName, or its prefix, is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI is different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/".

Returns: The DOMConfiguration from this DOMDocument

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual DOMElement* DOMDocument::getElementById ( const XMLCh * elementId ) const

pure virtual

Returns the DOMElement whose ID is given by elementId.

If no such element exists, returns null. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this ID. The DOM implementation must have information that says which attributes are of type ID. Attributes with the name "ID" are not of type ID unless so defined. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return null.

Parameters

elementId The unique id value for an element.

Returns: The matching element.

virtual DOMNodeList* DOMDocument::getElementsByTagName ( const XMLCh * tagname ) const

pure virtual

Returns a DOMNodeList of all the DOMElement(s) with a given tag name in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of the DOMDocument tree.

Parameters

tagname The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*" matches all tags.

Returns: A new DOMNodeList object containing all the matched DOMElement(s).

Since: DOM Level 1

virtual DOMNodeList* DOMDocument::getElementsByTagNameNS	(	const XMLCh *	namespaceURI,
		const XMLCh *	localName

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual bool DOMDocument::getStrictErrorChecking ( ) const

pure virtual

An attribute specifying whether errors 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 DOMException. In case of error, the behavior is undefined. This attribute is true by defaults.

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual const XMLCh* DOMDocument::getXmlEncoding ( ) const

pure virtual

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document.

This is null when unspecified or when it is not known, such as when the DOMDocument was created in memory.

This is null when unspecified.
This attribute represents the property [version] defined in .

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual DOMNode* DOMDocument::importNode	(	const DOMNode *	importedNode,
		bool	deep
	)

pure virtual

Imports a node from another document to this document.

The returned node has no parent; (parentNode is null). The source node is not altered or removed from the original document; this method creates a new copy of the source node.
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 on a DOMNode, the source node is not altered.
Additional information is copied as appropriate to the nodeType, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if a fragment of XML 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.

ATTRIBUTE_NODE: The ownerElement attribute is set to null and the specified flag is set to true on the generated DOMAttr. The descendants of the source DOMAttr are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree. Note that the deep parameter has no effect on DOMAttr nodes; they always carry their children with them when imported.
DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE: If the deep option was set to true, the descendants of the source element are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree. Otherwise, this simply generates an empty DOMDocumentFragment.
DOCUMENT_NODE: DOMDocument nodes cannot be imported.
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE: DOMDocumentType nodes cannot be imported.
ELEMENT_NODE: Specified attribute nodes of the source element are imported, and the generated DOMAttr nodes are attached to the generated DOMElement. Default attributes are not copied, though if the document being imported into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. If the importNode deep parameter was set to true, the descendants of the source element are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.
ENTITY_NODE: DOMEntity nodes can be imported, however in the current release of the DOM the DOMDocumentType is readonly. Ability to add these imported nodes to a DOMDocumentType will be considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, the publicId, systemId, and notationName attributes are copied. If a deep import is requested, the descendants of the the source DOMEntity are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE: Only the DOMEntityReference itself is copied, even if a deep import is requested, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned.
NOTATION_NODE: DOMNotation nodes can be imported, however in the current release of the DOM the DOMDocumentType is readonly. Ability to add these imported nodes to a DOMDocumentType will be considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, the publicId and systemId attributes are copied. Note that the deep parameter has no effect on DOMNotation nodes since they never have any children.
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE: The imported node copies its target and data values from those of the source node.
TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE: These three types of nodes inheriting from DOMCharacterData copy their data and length attributes from those of the source node.

Parameters

importedNode	The node to import.
deep	If `true`, recursively import the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, import only the node itself, as explained above. This has no effect on `DOMAttr` , `DOMEntityReference`, and `DOMNotation` nodes.

Returns: The imported node that belongs to this DOMDocument.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being imported is not supported.

virtual void DOMDocument::normalizeDocument ( )

pure virtual

This method acts as if the document was going through a save and load cycle, putting the document in a "normal" form.

The actual result depends on the features being set. See DOMConfiguration for details.

Noticeably this method normalizes DOMText nodes, makes the document "namespace wellformed", according to the algorithm described below in pseudo code, by adding missing namespace declaration attributes and adding or changing namespace prefixes, updates the replacement tree of DOMEntityReference nodes, normalizes attribute values, etc.
Mutation events, when supported, are generated to reflect the changes occurring on the document. Note that this is a partial implementation. Not all the required features are implemented. Currently DOMAttr and DOMText nodes are normalized. Features to remove DOMComment and DOMCDATASection work.

virtual DOMNode* DOMDocument::renameNode	(	DOMNode *	n,
		const XMLCh *	namespaceURI,
		const XMLCh *	qualifiedName
	)

pure virtual

Rename an existing 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. This only applies to nodes of type ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE.
When a new node is created, the following operations are performed: the 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 DOMElement 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 attach to the new node, the user data event NODE_RENAMED is fired.
When the node being renamed is an DOMAttr that is attached to an DOMElement, the node is first removed from the DOMElement attributes map. Then, once renamed, either by modifying the existing node or creating a new one as described above, it is put back.

Parameters

n	The node to rename.
namespaceURI	The new namespaceURI.
qualifiedName	The new qualified name.

Returns: The renamed node. This is either the specified node or the new node that was created to replace the specified node.

Exceptions

DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised when the type of the specified node is neither ELEMENT_NODE nor ATTRIBUTE_NODE.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised when the specified node was created from a different document than this document.
NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the qualifiedName is malformed per the Namespaces in XML specification, if the qualifiedName has a prefix and the namespaceURI is null, or if the qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml" and the namespaceURI is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" . Also raised, when the node being renamed is an attribute, if the qualifiedName, or its prefix, is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/".

virtual void DOMDocument::setDocumentURI ( const XMLCh * documentURI )

pure virtual

The location of the document or null if undefined.

Beware that when the DOMDocument supports the feature "HTML" , the href attribute of the HTML BASE element takes precedence over this attribute.

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual void DOMDocument::setStrictErrorChecking ( bool strictErrorChecking )

pure virtual

An attribute specifying whether errors 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 DOMException. In case of error, the behavior is undefined. This attribute is true by defaults.

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual void DOMDocument::setXmlStandalone ( bool standalone )

pure virtual

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

This attribute represents the property [standalone] defined in .

Since: DOM Level 3

virtual void DOMDocument::setXmlVersion ( const XMLCh * version )

pure virtual

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document.

This is null when unspecified.
This attribute represents the property [version] defined in .
