Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public org.w3c.dom.Node	appendChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild) Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. param newChild The node to add.If it is a DocumentFragment object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node return The node added. exception DOMException HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors. WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	cloneNode(boolean deep) Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent; ( parentNode is null.). Cloning an Element copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child Text node. Cloning an Attribute directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an Element cloning operation, returns a specified attribute ( specified is true). 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 an EntityReference clone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecified Attr nodes are specified. And, cloning Document, DocumentType, Entity, and Notation nodes is implementation dependent. param deep If true, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if false, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an Element). return The duplicate node.
public org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap	getAttributes() A NamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is an Element) or null otherwise. return the attributes of the node, which may be an empty map, or null, if this the node cannot have any attributes.
public org.w3c.dom.NodeList	getChildNodes() A NodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is a NodeList containing no nodes. return the list of children, which may be empty.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getFirstChild() The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. return the first child of the node, if any.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getLastChild() The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. return the last child of the node, if any.
public java.lang.String	getLocalName() Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node. For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null. return the local name, if any. since DOM Level 2
public java.lang.String	getNamespaceURI() The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is unspecified. 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 than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null.Per the Namespaces in XML Specification 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. return the namespace URI, if any. since DOM Level 2
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getNextSibling() The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. return the following node, if any.
public java.lang.String	getNodeName() The name of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. return the name of the node.
public short	getNodeType() A code representing the type of the underlying object, as defined above. return the type of the node.
public java.lang.String	getNodeValue() Returns the value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. return the value of the node. exception DOMException DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.
public org.w3c.dom.Document	getOwnerDocument() The Document object associated with this node. This is also the Document object used to create new nodes. When this node is a Document or a DocumentType which is not used with any Document yet, this is null. return the document this node belongs to, if any. version DOM Level 2
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getParentNode() The parent of this node. All nodes, except Attr, Document, DocumentFragment, Entity, and Notation may 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 is null. return the parent node, if any.
public java.lang.String	getPrefix() Returns the namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified. For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null. return the namespace prefix, if any. exception DOMException since DOM Level 2
public org.w3c.dom.Node	getPreviousSibling() The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns null. return the preceding node, if any.
public boolean	hasAttributes() Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes. return true if this node has any attributes, false otherwise. since DOM Level 2
public boolean	hasChildNodes() Returns whether this node has any children. return true if this node has any children, false otherwise.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	insertBefore(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild, org.w3c.dom.Node refChild) Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild. If refChild is null, insert newChild at the end of the list of children. If newChild is a DocumentFragment object, all of its children are inserted, in the same order, before refChild. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. param newChild The node to insert. param refChild The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted. return The node being inserted. exception DOMException HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors. WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was 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 parent of the node being inserted is readonly. NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if refChild is not a child of this node.
public boolean	isSupported(java.lang.String feature, java.lang.String version) Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node. param feature The name of the feature to test. This is the same name which can be passed to the method hasFeature on DOMImplementation. param version This is the version number of the feature to test. In Level 2, version 1, this is the string "2.0". If the version is not specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return true. return Returns true if the specified feature is supported on this node, false otherwise. since DOM Level 2
public void	normalize() Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes. 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 lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.In cases where the document contains CDATASections, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between Text nodes and CDATASection nodes. version DOM Level 2
public org.w3c.dom.Node	removeChild(org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild) Removes the child node indicated by oldChild from the list of children, and returns it. param oldChild The node being removed. return The node removed. exception DOMException NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if oldChild is not a child of this node.
public org.w3c.dom.Node	replaceChild(org.w3c.dom.Node newChild, org.w3c.dom.Node oldChild) Replaces the child node oldChild with newChild in the list of children, and returns the oldChild node. If newChild is a DocumentFragment object, oldChild is replaced by all of the DocumentFragment children, which are inserted in the same order. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. param newChild The new node to put in the child list. param oldChild The node being replaced in the list. return The node replaced. exception DOMException HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the newChild node, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors. WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was 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 if oldChild is not a child of this node.
public void	setNodeValue(java.lang.String nodeValue) Sets the value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it is defined to be null, setting it has no effect. param nodeValue the new value of the node. exception DOMException NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
public void	setPrefix(java.lang.String prefix) Sets the namespace prefix of this node. Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the nodeName attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the tagName and name attributes of the Element and Attr interfaces, when applicable. 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 the namespaceURI and localName do not change. For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null. exception DOMException INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix is malformed, if the namespaceURI of this node is null, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an attribute and the qualifiedName of this node is "xmlns" . param prefix the new namespace prefix. since DOM Level 2
