Interface AuthorNode

All Known Subinterfaces:
AuthorDocument, AuthorElement, AuthorElementBaseInterface, AuthorParentNode, AuthorReferenceNode

@API(type=NOT_EXTENDABLE, src=PUBLIC) public interface AuthorNode
Base interface for all Author nodes. The Author nodes model is similar with the DOM model with the difference that the TEXT nodes do not exists in this model. The text from the document is kept separately into a data structure similar to Content from Swing. The nodes have start and end pointers into the Content, see getStartOffset() and getEndOffset() methods.
The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.
Author document fragment architecture.
The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.

    • getOwnerDocument

      AuthorDocument getOwnerDocument()
      Returns the document to which this element belongs.
      Returns:
      The AuthorDocument to which this element belongs. Returns null if this element is part of a document fragment. For more details see AuthorDocumentFragment.
    • isDescendentOf

      boolean isDescendentOf(AuthorNode ancestor)
      See if this node is a descendant of the given node.
      Parameters:
      ancestor - The AuthorNode tested to see if it is an ancestor of this node.
      Returns:
      true if the given node is an ancestor of this node.

      int getType()
      Returns:
      The node type.
    • getStartOffset

      int getStartOffset()

      The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.
      Author document fragment architecture.
      The image represents part of the document content and red markers represent special control characters which represent the node ranges.
      Returns:
      The offset into the content corresponding to the start of the node, 0 based and inclusive.
    • getEndOffset

      int getEndOffset()
      Returns the offset in the content which marks the end of the node's range.
      The author content contains the entire XML document text and special marker characters. Each author node points in the content to the start and end marker characters which are used to delimit it's range.

      Returns:
      The offset into the content corresponding to the end of the node, 0 based and inclusive.
    • getName

      String getName()
      Returns the node name. Depending on the node type the method returns:
      Returns:
      The name of the node.
    • getParent

      AuthorNode getParent()
      Returns:
      The AuthorNode representing the parent of this element, or null if this is the document node.

    • getXMLBaseURL

      URL getXMLBaseURL()
      The returned URL represents the value of base URL in the current nodes context. It is resolved taking into account the values of all the 'xml:base' attributes from the ancestors and the document URL if necessary.

      If no 'xml:base' attribute is present, the document system ID will be returned. See specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/.

      Returns:
      The XML base URL.
    • getTextContent

      Throws:
      BadLocationException - If the text content cannot be obtained.
    • getContentIterator

      ContentIterator getContentIterator()

      Return an iterator over the text content of this node.

      The content may contain special characters which have the value equal to 0. These special characters are the markers for content referenced by descendant nodes.

      Author document fragment architecture.

      Returns:
      an iterator over the text content of this node.
