Expand description

A node in a document.

Document Order

The implementation of the Ord traits for Node is based on the concept of document-order. In layman’s terms, document-order is the order in which one would see each element if one opened a document in a text editor or web browser and scrolled down. Document-order convention is followed in XPath, CSS Counters, and DOM selectors API to ensure consistent results from selection. One difference in roxmltree is that there is the notion of more than one document in existence at a time. While Nodes within the same document are in document-order, Nodes in different documents will be grouped together, but not in any particular order.

As an example, if we have a Document a with Nodes [a0, a1, a2] and a Document b with Nodes [b0, b1], these Nodes in order could be either [a0, a1, a2, b0, b1] or [b0, b1, a0, a1, a2] and roxmltree makes no guarantee which it will be.

Document-order is defined here in the W3C XPath Recommendation The use of document-order in DOM Selectors is described here in the W3C Selectors API Level 1

Implementations

Returns node’s type.

Checks that node is a root node.

Checks that node is an element node.

Checks that node is a processing instruction node.

Checks that node is a comment node.

Checks that node is a text node.

Returns node’s document.

Returns node’s tag name.

Returns an empty name with no namespace if the current node is not an element.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().tag_name().namespace(), Some("http://www.w3.org"));
assert_eq!(doc.root_element().tag_name().name(), "e");

Checks that node has a specified tag name.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert!(doc.root_element().has_tag_name("e"));
assert!(doc.root_element().has_tag_name(("http://www.w3.org", "e")));

assert!(!doc.root_element().has_tag_name("b"));
assert!(!doc.root_element().has_tag_name(("http://www.w4.org", "e")));

Returns node’s default namespace URI.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().default_namespace(), Some("http://www.w3.org"));
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().default_namespace(), None);

Returns a prefix for a given namespace URI.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().lookup_prefix("http://www.w3.org"), Some("n"));
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns:n=''/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().lookup_prefix(""), Some("n"));

Returns an URI for a given prefix.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().lookup_namespace_uri(Some("n")), Some("http://www.w3.org"));
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e xmlns='http://www.w3.org'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().lookup_namespace_uri(None), Some("http://www.w3.org"));

Returns element’s attribute value.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<e a='b'/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().attribute("a"), Some("b"));
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse(
    "<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org' a='b' n:a='c'/>"
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().attribute("a"), Some("b"));
assert_eq!(doc.root_element().attribute(("http://www.w3.org", "a")), Some("c"));

Returns element’s attribute object.

The same as attribute(), but returns the Attribute itself instead of a value string.

Checks that element has a specified attribute.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse(
    "<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org' a='b' n:a='c'/>"
).unwrap();

assert!(doc.root_element().has_attribute("a"));
assert!(doc.root_element().has_attribute(("http://www.w3.org", "a")));

assert!(!doc.root_element().has_attribute("b"));
assert!(!doc.root_element().has_attribute(("http://www.w4.org", "a")));

Returns element’s attributes.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse(
    "<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org' a='b' n:a='c'/>"
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().attributes().len(), 2);

Returns element’s namespaces.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse(
    "<e xmlns:n='http://www.w3.org'/>"
).unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().namespaces().len(), 1);

Returns node’s text.

  • for an element will return a first text child
  • for a comment will return a self text
  • for a text node will return a self text
Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("\
<p>
    text
</p>
").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root_element().text(),
           Some("\n    text\n"));
assert_eq!(doc.root_element().first_child().unwrap().text(),
           Some("\n    text\n"));
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("<!-- comment --><e/>").unwrap();

assert_eq!(doc.root().first_child().unwrap().text(), Some(" comment "));

Returns element’s tail text.

Examples
let doc = roxmltree::Document::parse("\
<root>
    text1
    <p/>
    text2
</root>
").unwrap();

let p = doc.descendants().find(|n| n.has_tag_name("p")).unwrap();
assert_eq!(p.tail(), Some("\n    text2\n"));
