Node

<code>Node</code> defines the polymorphic behavior for all XML nodes in a dom tree.

A node can be output as its XML format, can be detached from its position in a document and can have XPath expressions evaluated on itself.

A node may optionally support the parent relationship and may be read only.

class Node {

NodeType m_type;

string m_name;

Element m_parent;

this(NodeType type);

this(string name, NodeType type);

NodeType getType();

string getName();

void setName(string name);

Element getParent();

void setParent(Element parent);

}

Functions

getName string getName(): <p> <code>getName</code> returns the name of this node. This is the XML local name of the element, attribute, entity or processing instruction. For CDATA and Text nodes this method will return null. </p>
getParent Element getParent(): <p> <code>getParent</code> returns the parent <code>Element</code> if this node supports the parent relationship or null if it is the root element or does not support the parent relationship. </p>
getType NodeType getType(): Returns the code according to the type of node. This makes processing nodes polymorphically much easier as the switch statement can be used instead of multiple if (instanceof) statements.
setName void setName(string name): <p> Sets the text data of this node or this method will throw an <code>UnsupportedOperationException</code> if it is read-only. </p>
setParent void setParent(Element parent): <p> <code>setParent</code> sets the parent relationship of this node if the parent relationship is supported or does nothing if the parent relationship is not supported. </p>
