Method Detail

makeComment

public nu.xom.Nodes makeComment(java.lang.String data)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Returns a new Nodes object containing a comment with the specified text.

Subclasses may change the content or other characteristics of the comment returned. Subclasses may change the nodes returned from this method. They may return a Nodes object containing any number of children and attributes which are appended and added to the current parent element. This Nodes object should not contain any Document objects. All of the nodes returned must be parentless. Subclasses may return an empty Nodes to indicate the comment should not be included in the finished document.

Overrides:

makeComment in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

data - the complete text content of the comment

Returns:

the nodes to be added to the tree

makeText

public nu.xom.Nodes makeText(java.lang.String data)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Returns a new Nodes object containing a text node with the specified content.

Subclasses may change the content or other characteristics of the text returned. Subclasses may also change the nodes returned from this method. They may return a Nodes object containing any number of nodes which are added or appended to the current parent node. This Nodes object must not contain any Document nodes. All of the nodes returned must be parentless. Subclasses may return an empty Nodes to indicate the text should not be included in the finished document.

Overrides:

makeText in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

data - the complete text content of the node

Returns:

the nodes to be added to the tree

makeRootElement

public nu.xom.Element makeRootElement(java.lang.String name,
                                      java.lang.String namespace)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Creates a new element in the specified namespace with the specified name. The builder calls this method to make the root element of the document.

Subclasses may change the name, namespace, content, or other characteristics of the element returned. The default implementation merely calls startMakingElement. However, when subclassing, it is often useful to be able to easily distinguish between the root element and a non-root element because the root element cannot be detached. Therefore, subclasses must not return null from this method. Doing so will cause a NullPointerException.

Overrides:

makeRootElement in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

name - the qualified name of the element

namespace - the namespace URI of the element

Returns:

the new root element

startMakingElement

public nu.xom.Element startMakingElement(java.lang.String name,
                                         java.lang.String namespace)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Creates a new Element in the specified namespace with the specified name.

Subclasses may change the name, namespace, content, or other characteristics of the Element returned. Subclasses may return null to indicate the Element should not be created. However, doing so will only remove the element's start-tag and end-tag from the result tree. Any content inside the element will be attached to the element's parent by default, unless it too is filtered. To remove an entire element, return an empty Nodes object from the finishMakingElement() method.

Overrides:

startMakingElement in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

name - the qualified name of the element

namespace - the namespace URI of the element

Returns:

the new element

makeAttribute

public nu.xom.Nodes makeAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                                  java.lang.String namespace,
                                  java.lang.String value,
                                  nu.xom.Attribute.Type type)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Returns a new Nodes object containing an attribute in the specified namespace with the specified name and type.

Subclasses may change the nodes returned from this method. They may return a Nodes object containing any number of children and attributes which are appended and added to the current parent element. This Nodes object may not contain any Document objects. All of the nodes returned must be parentless. Subclasses may return an empty Nodes to indicate the attribute should not be created.

Overrides:

makeAttribute in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

name - the prefixed name of the attribute

namespace - the namespace URI

value - the attribute value

type - the attribute type

Returns:

the nodes to be added to the tree

makeDocType

public nu.xom.Nodes makeDocType(java.lang.String rootElementName,
                                java.lang.String publicID,
                                java.lang.String systemID)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Returns a new Nodes object containing a DocType object with the specified root element name, system ID, and public ID.

Subclasses may change the root element name, public ID, system ID, or other characteristics of the DocType returned. Subclasses may change the nodes returned from this method. They may return a Nodes object containing any number of comments and processing instructions which are appended to the current parent node. This Nodes object may not contain any Document, Element, Attribute, or Text objects. All of the nodes returned must be parentless. Subclasses may return an empty Nodes to indicate the DocType should not be included in the finished document.

Overrides:

makeDocType in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

rootElementName - the declared, qualified name for the root element

publicID - the public ID of the external DTD subset

systemID - the URL of the external DTD subset

Returns:

the nodes to be added to the document

makeProcessingInstruction

public nu.xom.Nodes makeProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                              java.lang.String data)

Description copied from class: nu.xom.NodeFactory

Returns a new Nodes object containing a new ProcessingInstruction object with the specified target and data.

Subclasses may change the target, data, or other characteristics of the ProcessingInstruction returned. Subclasses may change the nodes returned from this method. They may return a Nodes object containing any number of nodes which are added or appended to the current parent node. This Nodes object must not contain any Document nodes. If the processing instruction appears in the prolog or epilog of the document, then it must also not contain any Element, Attribute, or Text objects. All of the nodes returned must be parentless. Subclasses may return an empty Nodes to indicate the processing instruction should not be included in the finished document.

Overrides:

makeProcessingInstruction in class nu.xom.NodeFactory

Parameters:

target - the target of the processing instruction

data - the data of the processing instruction

Returns:

the nodes to be added to the tree
