Class NodeImpl
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Node
- Direct Known Subclasses:
AttrImpl,EntityImpl,LeafNodeImpl
public abstract class NodeImpl extends Object implements Node
Some fields have package visibility so other classes can access them while maintaining the DOM structure.
This class represents a Node that has neither a parent nor children. Subclasses may have either.
Some code was adapted from Apache Xerces.

Method Details
-
appendChild
Description copied from interface:NodeAdds the nodenewChildto the end of the list of children of this node. If thenewChildis already in the tree, it is first removed.- Specified by:
appendChildin interfaceNode- Parameters:
newChild- The node to add.If it is aDocumentFragmentobject, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node- Returns:
- The node added.
- Throws:
DOMException- HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of thenewChildnode, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself, or if this node is of typeDocumentand the DOM application attempts to append a secondDocumentTypeorElementnode.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised ifnewChildwas created from a different document than the one that created this node.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly or if the previous parent of the node being inserted is readonly.
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: if thenewChildnode is a child of theDocumentnode, this exception might be raised if the DOM implementation doesn't support the removal of theDocumentTypechild orElementchild.
-
cloneNode
Description copied from interface:NodeReturns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent (parentNodeisnull) and no user data. User data associated to the imported node is not carried over. However, if anyUserDataHandlershas been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.
Cloning anElementcopies 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 theElementsince the text is contained in a childTextnode. Cloning anAttrdirectly, as opposed to be cloned as part of anElementcloning operation, returns a specified attribute (specifiedistrue). Cloning anAttralways clones its children, since they represent its value, no matter whether this is a deep clone or not. Cloning anEntityReferenceautomatically constructs its subtree if a correspondingEntityis 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 anEntityReferenceclone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecifiedAttrnodes are specified. And, cloningDocument,DocumentType,Entity, andNotationnodes is implementation dependent. -
getAttributes
Description copied from interface:NodeANamedNodeMapcontaining the attributes of this node (if it is anElement) ornullotherwise.- Specified by:
getAttributesin interfaceNode
-
getChildNodes
Description copied from interface:NodeANodeListthat contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is aNodeListcontaining no nodes.- Specified by:

-
getFirstChild
Description copied from interface:NodeThe first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returnsnull.- Specified by:

getLocalNamein interfaceNode
-
getNamespaceURI
Description copied from interface:NodeThe namespace URI of this node, ornullif it is unspecified (see ).
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 thanELEMENT_NODEandATTRIBUTE_NODEand nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such asDocument.createElement(), this is alwaysnull.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.
- Specified by:
getNamespaceURIin interfaceNode

Description copied from interface:NodeTheDocumentobject associated with this node. This is also theDocumentobject used to create new nodes. When this node is aDocumentor aDocumentTypewhich is not used with anyDocumentyet, this isnull.- Specified by:
getOwnerDocumentin interfaceNode
-
getParentNode
Description copied from interface:NodeThe parent of this node. All nodes, exceptAttr,Document,DocumentFragment,Entity, andNotationmay 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 isnull.- Specified by:
getParentNodein interfaceNode
-
getPrefix
Description copied from interface:NodeThe namespace prefix of this node, ornullif it is unspecified. When it is defined to benull, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.
Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes thenodeNameattribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as thetagNameandnameattributes of theElementandAttrinterfaces, when applicable.
Setting the prefix tonullmakes 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 thenamespaceURIandlocalNamedo not change.

insertBefore
Description copied from interface:NodeInserts the nodenewChildbefore the existing child noderefChild. IfrefChildisnull, insertnewChildat the end of the list of children.
IfnewChildis aDocumentFragmentobject, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, beforerefChild. If thenewChildis already in the tree, it is first removed.Note: Inserting a node before itself is implementation dependent.
- Specified by:
insertBeforein interfaceNode- Parameters:
newChild- The node to insert.refChild- The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.- Returns:
- The node being inserted.
- Throws:
DOMException- HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of thenewChildnode, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself, or if this node is of typeDocumentand the DOM application attempts to insert a secondDocumentTypeorElementnode.

normalize
public void normalize()Description copied from interface:NodePuts allTextnodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath thisNode, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separatesTextnodes, i.e., there are neither adjacentTextnodes nor emptyTextnodes. 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 theDOMConfigurationobject attached to theNode.ownerDocumentistrue, this method will also fully normalize the characters of theTextnodes.Note: In cases where the document contains
CDATASections, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate betweenTextnodes andCDATASectionnodes. -
removeChild
Description copied from interface:NodeRemoves the child node indicated byoldChildfrom the list of children, and returns it.- Specified by:
removeChildin interfaceNode- Parameters:
oldChild- The node being removed.- Returns:

replaceChild
Description copied from interface:NodeReplaces the child nodeoldChildwithnewChildin the list of children, and returns theoldChildnode.
IfnewChildis aDocumentFragmentobject,oldChildis replaced by all of theDocumentFragmentchildren, which are inserted in the same order. If thenewChildis already in the tree, it is first removed.Note: Replacing a node with itself is implementation dependent.
- Specified by:
replaceChildin interfaceNode- Parameters:
newChild- The new node to put in the child list.oldChild- The node being replaced in the list.- Returns:
- The node replaced.
- Throws:
DOMException- HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of thenewChildnode, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself, or if this node is of typeDocumentand the result of the replacement operation would add a secondDocumentTypeorElementon theDocumentnode.
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised ifnewChildwas created from a different document than the one that created this node.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node or the parent of the new node is readonly.
NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised ifoldChildis not a child of this node.
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: if this node is of typeDocument, this exception might be raised if the DOM implementation doesn't support the replacement of theDocumentTypechild orElementchild.
-
setNodeValue
Description copied from interface:NodeThe value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it is defined to benull, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.- Specified by:
setNodeValuein interfaceNode- Throws:
DOMException- NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly and if it is not defined to benull.
-
setPrefix
Description copied from interface:NodeThe namespace prefix of this node, ornullif it is unspecified. When it is defined to benull, setting it has no effect, including if the node is read-only.

Setting the prefix tonullmakes 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 thenamespaceURIandlocalNamedo not change.
For nodes of any type other thanELEMENT_NODEandATTRIBUTE_NODEand nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such ascreateElementfrom theDocumentinterface, this is alwaysnull.- Specified by:
setPrefixin interfaceNode- Throws:
DOMException- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersionattribute.

Description copied from interface:NodeThe absolute base URI of this node ornullif the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI. This value is computed as described in . However, when theDocumentsupports 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 thedocumentURIattribute from theDocumentinterface otherwise.- Specified by:
getBaseURIin interfaceNode

-
getTextContent
Description copied from interface:NodeThis attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants. When it is defined to benull, 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 ornull, replaced by a singleTextnode 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 attributeText.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 type Content ELEMENT_NODE, ATTRIBUTE_NODE, ENTITY_NODE, ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE, DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE concatenation of the textContentattribute value of every child node, excluding COMMENT_NODE and PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE nodes. This is the empty string if the node has no children.TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE nodeValueDOCUMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, NOTATION_NODE null - Specified by:
getTextContentin interfaceNode- Throws:
DOMException- DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in aDOMStringvariable on the implementation platform.
-
setTextContent
Description copied from interface:NodeThis attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants. When it is defined to benull, 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 ornull, replaced by a singleTextnode 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 attributeText.isElementContentWhitespace). Similarly, on setting, no parsing is performed either, the input string is taken as pure textual content.

-
isSameNode
Description copied from interface:NodeReturns whether this node is the same node as the given one.
This method provides a way to determine whether twoNodereferences returned by the implementation reference the same object. When twoNodereferences 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.- Specified by:
isSameNodein interfaceNode- Parameters:
other- The node to test against.- Returns:
- Returns
trueif the nodes are the same,falseotherwise.

Description copied from interface:NodeLook up the prefix associated to the given namespace URI, starting from this node. The default namespace declarations are ignored by this method.
See for details on the algorithm used by this method.- Specified by:
lookupPrefixin interfaceNode- Parameters:
namespaceURI- The namespace URI to look for.- Returns:
- Returns an associated namespace prefix if found or
nullif none is found. If more than one prefix are associated to the namespace prefix, the returned namespace prefix is implementation dependent.
-
isDefaultNamespace
Description copied from interface:NodeThis method checks if the specifiednamespaceURIis the default namespace or not.- Specified by:
isDefaultNamespacein interfaceNode- Parameters:
namespaceURI- The namespace URI to look for.- Returns:
- Returns
trueif the specifiednamespaceURIis the default namespace,falseotherwise.
-
lookupNamespaceURI
Description copied from interface:NodeLook up the namespace URI associated to the given prefix, starting from this node.
See for details on the algorithm used by this method.- Specified by:
lookupNamespaceURIin interfaceNode- Parameters:
prefix- The prefix to look for. If this parameter isnull, the method will return the default namespace URI if any.- Returns:
- Returns the associated namespace URI or
nullif none is found.
-
isEqualNode
Description copied from interface:NodeTests 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 withNode.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:- The two nodes are of the same type.
- The following string
attributes are equal:
nodeName,localName,namespaceURI,prefix,nodeValue. This is: they are bothnull, or they have the same length and are character for character identical. - The
attributesNamedNodeMapsare equal. This is: they are bothnull, or they have the same length and for each node that exists in one map there is a node that exists in the other map and is equal, although not necessarily at the same index. - The
childNodesNodeListsare equal. This is: they are bothnull, or they have the same length and contain equal nodes at the same index. Note that normalization can affect equality; to avoid this, nodes should be normalized before being compared.
For twoDocumentTypenodes to be equal, the following conditions must also be satisfied:- The following string attributes
are equal:
publicId,systemId,internalSubset. - The
entitiesNamedNodeMapsare equal. - The
notationsNamedNodeMapsare equal.
On the other hand, the following do not affect equality: theownerDocument,baseURI, andparentNodeattributes, thespecifiedattribute forAttrnodes, theschemaTypeInfoattribute forAttrandElementnodes, theText.isElementContentWhitespaceattribute forTextnodes, 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.
- Specified by:
isEqualNodein interfaceNode- Parameters:
arg- The node to compare equality with.- Returns:
- Returns
trueif the nodes are equal,falseotherwise.
-
getFeature
Description copied from interface:NodeThis method returns a specialized object which implements the specialized APIs of the specified feature and version, as specified in . The specialized object may also be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods but is not necessarily expected to, as discussed in . This method also allow the implementation to provide specialized objects which do not support theNodeinterface.- Specified by:

- Returns an object which implements the specialized APIs of
the specified feature and version, if any, or
nullif there is no object which implements interfaces associated with that feature. If theDOMObjectreturned by this method implements theNodeinterface, it must delegate to the primary coreNodeand not return results inconsistent with the primary coreNodesuch as attributes, childNodes, etc.
