[−][src]Trait xml_dom::Node
This corresponds to the DOM Node
interface.
Specification
The Node
interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model. It represents
a single node in the document tree. While all objects implementing the Node
interface expose
methods for dealing with children, not all objects implementing the Node
interface may have
children. For example, Text
nodes may not have children, and adding children to such nodes
results in a DOMException
being raised.
The attributes nodeName
, nodeValue
and attributes
are included as a mechanism to get at node
information without casting down to the specific derived interface. In cases where there is no
obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue
for an Element
or
attributes
for a Comment
), this returns null
. Note that the specialized interfaces may contain
additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant information.
The values of nodeName
, nodeValue
, and attributes
vary according to the node type as follows:
Interface | nodeName | nodeValue | attributes |
---|---|---|---|
Attr | name of attribute | value of attribute | None |
CDATASection | "#cdata-section" | content of the CDATA Section | None |
Comment | "#comment" | content of the comment | None |
Document | "#document" | None | None |
DocumentFragment | "#document-fragment" | None | None |
DocumentType | document type name | None | None |
Element | tag name | None | HashMap |
Entity | entity name | None | None |
EntityReference | name of entity referenced | None | None |
Notation | notation name | None | None |
ProcessingInstruction | target | entire content excluding the target | None |
Text | "#text" | content of the text node | None |
Associated Types
type NodeRef
The opaque reference type that wraps the implementation of a node within the DOM.
Required methods
fn name(&self) -> Name
The name of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.
fn node_value(&self) -> Option<String>
The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it is defined to
be None
, setting it has no effect.
Specification
Exceptions on setting
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
: Raised when the node is readonly.
Exceptions on retrieval
DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR
: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a DOMString variable on the implementation platform.
fn set_node_value(&mut self, value: &str) -> Result<()>
Set the value
for the node; see node_value
.
fn unset_node_value(&mut self) -> Result<()>
Set the value
for the node to None
; see node_value
.
fn node_type(&self) -> NodeType
A code representing the type of the underlying object.
fn parent_node(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
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 None
.
fn child_nodes(&self) -> Vec<Self::NodeRef>
A Vec
that contains all children of this node. If there are no children,
this is a Vec
containing no nodes.
fn first_child(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns None
.
fn last_child(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns None
.
fn previous_sibling(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns None
.
fn next_sibling(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns None
.
fn attributes(&self) -> HashMap<Name, Self::NodeRef>
A HashMap
containing the attributes of this node (if it is an Element
) or
None
otherwise.
fn owner_document(&self) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
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 None
.
fn insert_before(
&mut self,
new_child: Self::NodeRef,
ref_child: &Self::NodeRef
) -> Result<Self::NodeRef>
&mut self,
new_child: Self::NodeRef,
ref_child: &Self::NodeRef
) -> Result<Self::NodeRef>
Inserts the node newChild
before the existing child node refChild
.
Specification
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.
Parameters
newChild
of typeNode
: The node to insert.refChild
of typeNode
: The reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.
Return Value
Node
: The node being inserted.
Exceptions
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of thenewChild
node, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors.WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
: Raised ifnewChild
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 ifrefChild
is not a child of this node.
fn replace_child(
&mut self,
new_child: Self::NodeRef,
old_child: &Self::NodeRef
) -> Result<Self::NodeRef>
&mut self,
new_child: Self::NodeRef,
old_child: &Self::NodeRef
) -> Result<Self::NodeRef>
Replaces the child node oldChild
with newChild
in the list of children, and returns the
oldChild
node.
Specification
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.
Parameters
newChild
of typeNode
: The new node to put in the child list.oldChild
of typeNode
: The node being replaced in the list.
Return Value
Node
: The node replaced.
Exceptions
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 ifnewChild
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.
fn append_child(&mut self, new_child: Self::NodeRef) -> Result<Self::NodeRef>
Adds the node newChild
to the end of the list of children of this node.
Specification
If the newChild
is already in the tree, it is first removed.
Parameters
newChild
of typeNode
: The node to add. If it is aDocumentFragment
object, the entire contents of the document fragment are moved into the child list of this node.
Return Value
Node
: The node added.
Exceptions
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of
the type of thenewChild
node, or if the node to append is one of this node's ancestors.WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
: Raised ifnewChild
was created from a different document than the one that created this node.NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR
: Raised if this node is readonly.
fn has_child_nodes(&self) -> bool
Returns whether this node has any children.
Specification
Return Value
boolean
:true
if this node has any children,false
otherwise.
fn clone_node(&self, deep: bool) -> Option<Self::NodeRef>
Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes.
Specification
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.
Parameters
deep
of typeboolean
: Iftrue
, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; iffalse
, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is anElement
).
Return Value
Node
:The duplicate node.
fn normalize(&mut self)
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.
Specification
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.
Note: In cases where the document contains CDataSection
, the
normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate
between Text
nodes and CDATASection
nodes.
fn is_supported(&self, feature: &str, version: &str) -> bool
Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.
Specification
Parameters
feature
of typeDOMString
: The name of the feature to test. This is the same name which can be passed to the methodhasFeature
onDOMImplementation
.version
of typeDOMString
: 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 Value
boolean
: Returnstrue
if the specified feature is supported on this node,false
otherwise.
fn has_attributes(&self) -> bool
Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.
Return Value
boolean
:true
if this node has any attributes,false
otherwise.
