Detailed Description

The xmldomnode class provides a generic container for DOM tree elements. One can navigate the nodes of the tree, modify the tree and read or modify the data that the nodes contain by calling methods in this class.

A DOM tree node can be one of the following: the document root a tag a tag attribute a segment of text a comment a segment of CDATA

Each node may contain the following data, though for some node types, the data container is unused: type name value parent node next sibling previous sibling a list of attribute nodes a list of child nodes

Here is a breakdown by node type:

For the document root: type - ROOT_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - "document" value - unused parent node - unused next sibling - unused previous sibling - unused a list of attribute nodes - unused a list of child nodes - the xml version tag, the doctype tag and the top-level enclosing tag

For a tag: type - TAG_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - the tag name value - unused parent node - the parent tag or document root next sibling - can be another tag, a segment of text, a comment or a segment of cdata previous sibling - can be another tag, a segment of text, a comment or a segment of cdata a list of attribute nodes - a list of attribute nodes a list of child nodes - a list of tags, text segments, comments and/or cdata segments

For a tag attribute: type - ATTRIBUTE_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - the attribute name value - the attribute value (note that for tags with standalone attributes, the name and value are the same) parent node - the tag containing the attributes next sibling - the next attribute previous sibling - the previous attribute a list of attribute nodes - unused a list of child nodes - unused

For a segment of text: type - TEXT_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - "text" value - the text itself parent node - the tag containing the text next sibling - can be a tag, a comment or a segment of cdata previous sibling - can be a tag, a comment or a segment of cdata a list of attribute nodes - unused a list of child nodes - unused

For a comment: type - COMMENT_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - "comment" value - the comment itself parent node - the tag containing the comment next sibling - can be a tag, a segment of text, another comment or a segment of cdata previous sibling - can be a tag, a segment of text, another comment or a segment of cdata a list of attribute nodes - unused a list of child nodes - unused

For a segment of cdata: type - CDATA_XMLDOMNODETYPE name - "cdata" value - the cdata itself parent node - the tag containing the cdata next sibling - can be a tag, a segment of text, a comment or another segment of cdata previous sibling - can be a tag, a segment of text, a comment or another segment of cdata a list of attribute nodes - unused a list of child nodes - unused


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

xmldomnode::xmldomnode ( xmldom dom,
xmldomnode nullnode 
)

Creates a new node and intializes its member variables to NULL.

Your application should pass in a special "nullnode" which may be created by the static method createNullNode() below.

This will keep command chaining like this:

mynode->getChild("node1")-> getChild("node2")->getName("node3");

from causing the program to crash trying to dereference a NULL pointer if, for example, "node2" doesn't exist.

xmldomnode::xmldomnode ( xmldom dom,
xmldomnode nullnode,
xmldomnodetype  type,
const char *  name,
const char *  value 
)

Creates a new node (see xmldomnode(xmldom *, xmldomnode *) and intializes its member variables to the values passed in.

xmldomnode::~xmldomnode ( )

Deletes the node, all attribute nodes and optionally all child nodes, recursively.


Member Function Documentation

bool xmldomnode::appendAttribute ( xmldomnode attribute)

Appends "attribute" to the list of attributes.

bool xmldomnode::appendAttribute ( const char *  name,
const char *  value 
)

Creates an attribute node with "name" and "value" and appends it to the list of attributes.

bool xmldomnode::appendChild ( xmldomnode child)

Appends "child" to the list of child nodes.

bool xmldomnode::appendText ( const char *  value)

Appends a child node of type TEXT_XMLDOMNODE with value "value" to the list of child nodes.

void xmldomnode::cascadeOnDelete ( )

Instructs the destructor to recursively delete all child nodes. This is the default behavior.

static xmldomnode* xmldomnode::createNullNode ( xmldom dom) [static]

Creates a special "null node" whose parent, next sibling and previous siblings point back to itself. This special node should be passed in when creating new xmldomnodes.

This method allocates xmldomnode internally and passes a pointer back. The calling program must ultimately deallocate the node.

bool xmldomnode::deleteAttribute ( uint64_t  position)

Deletes the attribute at "position". The position of the next attribute (and all successive attributes) is decremented.

bool xmldomnode::deleteAttribute ( const char *  name)

Searches the list of attribute nodes for an attribute named "name" and deletes it. The position of the next attribute (and all successive attributes) is decremented.

bool xmldomnode::deleteAttribute ( xmldomnode attribute)

Searches the list of attribute nodes for "attribute" and deletes it. The position of the next attribute (and all successive attributes) is decremented.

bool xmldomnode::deleteChild ( uint64_t  position)

Deletes the child node at "position". The position of the next sibling (and all successive siblings) is decremented.

bool xmldomnode::deleteChild ( xmldomnode child)

Searches the list of child nodes for "child" and deletes it. The position of the next sibling (and all successive siblings) is decremented.

void xmldomnode::dontCascadeOnDelete ( )

Instructs the destructor not to recursively delete all child nodes. The default behavior is to delete all child nodes.
