Detailed Description

The DOMCharacterData interface extends DOMNode with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.

For clarity this set is defined here rather than on each object that uses these attributes and methods. No DOM objects correspond directly to DOMCharacterData, though DOMText and others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.

As explained in the DOM spec, text strings in the DOM are represented in UTF-16, i.e. as a sequence of 16-bit units. In the following, the term 16-bit units is used whenever necessary to indicate that indexing on DOMCharacterData is done in 16-bit units.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::appendData ( const XMLCh *  arg)
pure virtual

Append the string to the end of the character data of the node.

Upon success, data provides access to the concatenation of data and the XMLCh* String specified.

Parameters
argThe XMLCh* String to append.
Exceptions
DOMExceptionNO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::deleteData ( XMLSize_t  offset,
XMLSize_t  count 
)
pure virtual

Remove a range of characters from the node.

Upon success, data and length reflect the change.

Parameters
offsetThe offset from which to remove characters.
countThe number of characters to delete. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all characters from offset to the end of the data are deleted.
Exceptions
DOMExceptionINDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual const XMLCh* xercesc::DOMCharacterData::getData ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the character data of the node that implements this interface.

The DOM implementation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored in a DOMCharacterData node. However, implementation limits may mean that the entirety of a node's data may not fit into a single XMLCh* String. In such cases, the user may call substringData to retrieve the data in appropriately sized pieces.

Exceptions
DOMExceptionNO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual XMLSize_t xercesc::DOMCharacterData::getLength ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of characters that are available through data and the substringData method below.

This may have the value zero, i.e., CharacterData nodes may be empty.

Since
DOM Level 1
virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::insertData ( XMLSize_t  offset,
const XMLCh *  arg 
)
pure virtual

Insert a string at the specified character offset.

Parameters
offsetThe character offset at which to insert.
argThe XMLCh* String to insert.
Exceptions
DOMExceptionINDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::replaceData ( XMLSize_t  offset,
XMLSize_t  count,
const XMLCh *  arg 
)
pure virtual

Replace the characters starting at the specified character offset with the specified string.

Parameters
offsetThe offset from which to start replacing.
countThe number of characters to replace. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length , then all characters to the end of the data are replaced (i.e., the effect is the same as a remove method call with the same range, followed by an append method invocation).
argThe XMLCh* String with which the range must be replaced.
Exceptions
DOMExceptionINDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::setData ( const XMLCh *  data)
pure virtual

Sets the character data of the node that implements this interface.

Parameters
dataThe XMLCh* String to set.
Since
DOM Level 1
virtual const XMLCh* xercesc::DOMCharacterData::substringData ( XMLSize_t  offset,
XMLSize_t  count 
) const
pure virtual

Extracts a range of data from the node.

Parameters
offsetStart offset of substring to extract.
countThe number of characters to extract.
Returns
The specified substring. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, then all characters to the end of the data are returned.
Exceptions
DOMExceptionINDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative.
Since
DOM Level 1
